What they actually do is send a fake e-mail appearing to come from Paypal saying you got the funds, and then another e-mail appearing to come from Paypal saying the funds will not be released until you send them a scan of the shipping documents showing the item has been shipped. The e-mails are poorly worded and look like they were written by a monkey (and seeing as they are coming from Nigeria they actually were). Just do a Google search for Craigslist Paypal scam and you'll see what I mean...
