I put my iPad2 64gb on craigslist down here and I typed my phone number out like two zero five three four five five five five five and I received a text message about two hours later from a number in New York.

The thing sounds fishy because he wouldn't tell me where he live except "you will see my addy on the paypal" and he want me to ship it for his son. well He has sent the money to pay pal but I haven't tried to move it and he sent $200 more than what I was asking. The addy was a confirmed addy in Nigeria.

I'm just want to know if I move the money to a checking account will he be able to get my information? do you think it's a scam? he paid before shipping too.
EDIT:

the dude didn't send the money, he sent an email (presumably fake) that looked like a paypal email but when I logged into pay pal (different browser) and no money is there. I contacted paypal and they said don't send anything unless it shows up on your paypal account and not via email.
