They just texted me and wated to buy a SUV that I have on craigslist. They are in DC, Im in MN, they said their shipper will come pick it up, they just need my paypal account information! Ill thinking its a scam!!!!
It IS a scam Kerry. We were contacted by this number just last night and this morning, we have a Harley Davidson for sale on craigslist that we just posted yesterday. They said the same thing to us! People only need an email address to send money on Paypal, nothing else.
So I posted my motorcycle on craigslist for sale and the same number text me asking if it was still avaliable. I replied yes and the conversation began. The person stated that she was buying the motorcycle for her son and wanted to know its condition and if i thought he would be disappointed with it. During our little converstion I googled the area code knowing it wasnt local and realized it was Washington. After a few more minutes of conversatin went by the buyer stated that she wanted to purchase my bike, gave me a name of brooke lopez and asked for my name in return. Being the type of person I am, I didnt give her my name but asked if she was from my area because her area code didnt match any around me. While waiting for her to reply I googled the whole number and found this Blog. She text back and stated that yes she was from Washington D.C., I told her I only do business local and goodbye. She never asked for paypal or any account info, but then again the conversation never got that far. DO NOT give anthing to anyone calling or texting from this number ITS A TOTAL SCAM!
