I've received this same scam. I kept going back and forth with the person and kept saying that I needed their bank account info to complete the deal. Finally, I got a text message from this scammer. they were so frustrated with me they didn't block the number, it was 417-812-8317
I suggest everyone use the web and text messages at all hours until the person gets very tired of it. Perhaps text messages like "God is watching and so is the FBI"

Boy...am I glad I googled this email address. Whew...
Red Flag#1: Email string started with a different email address, and changed to another.
Very persistent on asking for my PayPal ID. That was my Red Flag#2.
Red flag #3, emails were very vague and do not reference the item I was selling.
Here is the email chain (I have taken my info out for safety reasons):
Okay, I will like you to get back to me with Your PayPal email id as
soon as you have your account set up.Looking forward to read from
you.Many Thanks.

This person also used collinsbote5000@gmail.com to email me about my car for sale on craigslist.
I got this within 2 hours of posting my car for sale:
Considered it sold to me,I am ready to buy it as is. what is your firm price? Kindly e-mail me asap.
Lt. Collins.
(I had listed the FIRM PRICE twice in the ad, so red flags went up)
when I replied I then got this: (The bad grammar made me skeptical; it seems like English isn't their first language)
Thanks for your swift response to my buying inquiry,your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, I'll offer you $7,000 if you consider it sold to me and get the post deleted on Craigslist.I hate doubting people's integrity, so I believe it's as good as you have it posted for sales. I would have loved to come check it out myself but am currently in camp as Military Sere Instructor for new recruits, I won't be able to leave the base until May. I however squeezed out time to check this posting as all personal dealings are highly restricted here,I'm actually buying this as Retirement gift for my Nephew. I have a private Courier Agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made, so no shipping included and i will want you to get back to me with your Full Name and Pick up location so i can forward it to Pick up agent to calculate the shipping cost and to schedule pick up date and time. PayPal is safe and secure without revealing your credit card or bank account information, Unlike other financial institutions.Let me know your thought about PayPal. And if you don't have a PayPal account, you can easily go to http://www.paypal.com/ and sign up,its very easy.I'll need your name, the pickup address and your PayPal email address to proceed with the Payment.
Thanks.
Lt. Collins.
