What's the Scam?

Posted by Triode_Kingdom (A) on August 4, 2019 at 11:31:33

I'm selling a piece of gear on Craigslist. I get a message posted 4 AM asking if it's still available. I reply "yes" the next day and receive the following:

---------------------
Ok..I live in Arizona and I will like to buy it for my sister who schooling at west Africa ,I will add $100 for the shipping through USPS ROYAL Mail to West Africa , I will pay you via my PayPal account so kindly get back to me with your PayPal email account so that I can make the Payment ASAP...Thanks and hope to hear from you....

What's the scam here? This person can't do anything nefarious with my email address (except spam me). I suppose there will be another message with the actual scam if I reply?
