Is this a scam?

I'm selling a pushchair on Facebook, and I've been sent this message.

Users profile has 1k friends, can't see any of their posts. My instincts are saying scam (maybe their page has been hacked) but I'm not 100% sure.

Obviously a scam. Tell them collection or nothing.

I'd be sceptical. That's written like all the scam emails

It's going to be a lot to post! If you do it through paypal you have some protection, but so do they. You would want a signed for service so they can't say they didn't get it, but they could dispute condition etc. If you're not comfortable don't do it.

Thanks all, I've messaged and explained I wouldn't be comfortable sending via post as it would be a risk with a high value item. She said she understands and if I ever decide to list via vinted or eBay then to let her know as she would buy that way instead.

Nope I wouldn’t do it. It sounds very much like a potential scam and i am sure they would be looking closer to home.
