Yes, looks like a scam. Soon after you receive payment paypal will reverse the transaction as it's most likely the account used to make the payment has been hijacked from an innocent user. By then you will have sent out the phone and have no chance of getting it back.
Seriously, why would anyone ever offer to pay more for an item when there are similar phones with lower buy it now prices.... |
