Why does Craigslist say not to use Paypal? -

i was trying to sell a gaming account, and i read a notice they had on there saying something like, anyone who wants you to wire the money first is a scammer ... that s not true is it? i mean, it would be very handy if they wired me the money first, then i gave them the accounts user name and password etc
