Does this sound like an eBay scam?
So a lady just bought something on eBay from me. She sent me a text message on my iPhone for some reason (I'm wondering how she got my number) and said this:
Good Day Reed, I'm Mrs Brenda Benjamin from FL, a member of the Jehovah Witness. I just won your item on eBay (she never won anything, she did buy it now) and I will be sending International as a birthday gift to my son, who is in the US army, presently in Nigeria for peace keeping. I will be paying extra for shipping expenses. Waiting for the shipping cost and the Paypal money Request so the payment can be made at once, so that the item can get to my Son in West Africa as soon as possible."
I always get messages from people in Nigeria saying that they're willing to pay extra. It's kind of making me feel uncomfortable that she has my phone number and sent me a text message explaining this to me. It honestly sounds like a scam, as she is a new member. What do you guys think?
Added (1). I texted her back saying that I would not go through with the deal. I'm very worried that since she got my number, she might have other details of mine as well. I reported her to eBay. Anyone know how long it'll take for them to take action?
