Just received a similar text for an add I have on castanet. They always have such a touching story and want to give you more than you are asking.

So, they're paying somebody locally to stop by and pick it up and then scam you out of money?
Just tell the cousin to bring cash then.

Tell them they need to pay you in iTunes gift cards.

You can see that whoever is texting doesn't speak English very well.
They had to copy and paste the item description from the ad in the first message as opposed to using it in a sentence.
And the second message doesn't mention the item because they're copying and pasting the text again.

Right, and they're just the next one of a billion scams before them to attempt to appeal to people who still think that being Christian makes them honest. Why else would the scam say god bless and talk about his pastor.
