Scamming A Scammer

I posted my xbox one on craiglist to sell and I have an obvious scammer asking for my paypal email. I have his phone number, 256-548-3282, and email. What is the best way to screw over this piece of trash?

How is asking for your PayPal info a scam? Because buyer always right in PayPal's eyes and he will claim you never shipped?
They have ways to protect yourself.

I've never experienced a scammer that is willing to operate via PayPal. I've bought and sold everything from a Jeep Rubicon to an XBox 360 on Craigslist.
What makes you think he's a scammer?
ETA after reading your most recent post: that does sound pretty fishy. I have no idea other than to say PayPal has been air tight for me.

Doesn't he need your e-mail in order to transfer money to you?

Use that number to register for crap. Not worth trying to sell it and dealing with issues should they arise.

Africa thrown in the mix definitely smells of Scam.

Did you post his number just so we could do your dirty work for you?

Ignore him.

The way the scam works is he sends you a fake email saying you have been paid, complete with working links that appear to show you have been paidoing or give you some type of malware.
As long as you don't click a link in the email and log in to your PayPal from your browser you will see whether you have actually been paid and avoid getting malware.

I just called him. Nice guy. Good honest Christian. I didn't get a weird vibe. Go ahead with the deal.

Sign him up for a Health Insurance quote at NASE "National Association for the Self Employed", they will call about 6-7 times a day
