Scam or no?

I recently put up a wanted add on here, I was contacted via Email through this boards message system by someone that says they have the parts and to contact them by Email.
I contact them, ask for pictures and more info, they want a money-gram because their paypal is dormant.. really?
Soo I ask for pictures .. they can't upload them.. really?
Give my phone number as letters and numbers.. they can't send a txt because it keeps failing.. really?
This is a LOT of red flags.

Fairly sure Its a scam that came from here.
BECAREFULL whatever you do.

Anyone have any info on this member???

Re: Scam or no?

Ask for an address and say you'll have someone local pick it up with cash. Watch how fast communication ends. If someone won't deal through PP I won't take the chance.
