I just got a text from this number about furniture that I had for sale on Craigslist. Thought it was suspicious because of the area code, so I decided to look it up and I am glad I did! Thanks everyone for posting that this was a scammer!
Someone from this number tried to scam me on an item I'm trying to sell on the internet. They first agreed to the purchase and that they would pay for "a shipping agent" to pick the item up. They then changed the agreement to them sending me additional money on paypal to pay their agent. When I told them I would need to wait until the money cleared my bank and that I would not agree to paying the shipping agent, I never heard from them again.
I also had someone trying to purchase something from me on craigslist stating that their purchasing agent would pick it up. They asked that I setup a paypal account and they would pay me that way. When I asked about a cash deal on pick up, I have not heard from them again. Total Scam....
