Scammers are at it again

Scammers are at it again
here's another paypal scam
They ask to have a "request" sent to them with your info
They'll pay for the shipping, and pickup
"shipper" arrives to pick up your "product" and takes off
a claim is placed on your accout, for no goods recieved
you're asked for a tracking number that you can't produce
They get refunded your money and you're out with whatever you let their "shipper" take
Here's an email that I got recently on my 4 wheeler that I have for sale. The request came from two different email addresses.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Sorry for the late response,am ok with the asking price.due to
the nature of my job and location,i will not be able to come for
inspection because i work long hours everyday,i have gone through your
advertisement and i am satisfied with it.i will be paying you via the
fastest and secure way to pay online(PayPal).
I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after
the payment have been made.You can now send me your PayPal email so i
can pay in right away and also include your address in your reply.If
you don't have a paypal account, you can easily set up one.log on to
http://www.paypal.com/ and sign up. its very easy.
Send your paypal money request to rebeccaleighpalmer@gmail.com
Hope to hear from you soon..

So what if i were to, take pictures of my item being loaded up by X shipper, get his name, license number, tag number, a signature on a document, that is signed and dated by both of us, a witness?

Yeah, I sell a lot of our crap on Craigslist and whenever the price get around $100 or more, the scammers start up. Most of the time you can tell it's a bot. But my converter was just on there and I got a scammer, so I responded with a real long email, being all sarcastic... It sold in the next few days so I took the listing down but the scammers kept on coming, a different address everyday, trying to get me to click on **** links.. I think I made one of them mad and he told all his buddies.
This guy still wants me to Paypal him, even after I said I only want in-person cash in-hand. This is for my cam& springs for $400..
