He texted me with a name (no number) asking for my \'firm price\'. When I queried him on which item through his email he gave me, he asked what I was selling. When I told him my 15 items, he asked for a total price. When I gave a separate price for each one, he again just asked for a total price. I gave him a total price of all and he has began pretending he wants to pay via PayPal - which is the early stage of SCAM reported on:

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
