Of particular note is the fact they claim to work for paypel (see notes in red below)
This time from"Shannon Moore" ( likely a hacked facebook account)

- Hello, do you still have the ipad for sale?
- Where are you located?....
- But am sorry, am located at Montgomery.Jersey City, NJ, do you have a paypal account? Let me know.
- That is not true, $500 is recommended via paypal, i will be paying you for the ipad and the shipment to my son through Canada Post Air Mail, so send me paypal money request of $600 for the ipad and the shipment to my paypal email id corina.moore32@yahoo.com, for the payment. Thank you for been sincere with me.
- Me
no, this is exactly what I mean. I will not take paypal for this, sorry
- Why? But am paying you first before you ship it, how much will be accepted in your paypal account? (note: very persistent scammer, still trying to convince me)
- I can not do that because am a sincere person, i also work at paypal so it will not be easy for me to do that because if i try it i will be charge.

Ha ha ha, This became very common
Scammers are targeting Facebook members, asking them to complete surveys on the promise of getting a free Samsung Galaxy S3. But instead a rogue application takes over their profile and spreads the scam virally through their friends list. The messages read: "Just testing Facebook for Galaxy S3 out :P Received my free Galaxy S3 today, so happy lol.. If anyone else wants one go here:" followed by a link to the Android Application.
