ANONYMOUS MIDNIGHT BUYER TEXT???

Hey Bp Family! So about 3 hours ago (12:30am) I received an anonymous text from a claimed buyer stating;

"(Address) Ave - $28000 I hope items are still very much in good shape as stated in the Ads? I can make a quick purchase via my PayPal and have a private mover handle pick up from you due to my kind of work as i have no access to cash or pay the mover directly. I'll add the shipping fee to the payment thru my paypal account so, you can pay the mover on my behalf. Kindly, reply with your paypal info for the payment."

I sent a follow up text asking for the buyer's name, proof of funds. and email so I can send the agreement first if he's planning to double close.

My main question is, Is this a common way of being approached by buyers, or every buyer has their own way?

P.S. I started wholesaling a few months ago. PITTSBURGH, PA

Obviously a scam. Don't respond.
