HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO besides reporting their numbers. Luckily, before I posted my ads, I got a FREE phone number from Google jus for this purpose. It’s just like a mobile phone with VOICE MAIL, TEXTING, and CALLING. Also it rings to my phone, and I can call or text them back from my phone, and all they see is the number from Google, not my own. Most importantly, you can BLOCK their number and you won’ be bothered again till they use a new number. I recommend this for anyone that does not want to give out his or her own number.
Keeps texting me the same thing as soon as I update my ad on Craigs List. They are both from Xo Communications, Landline in Juliaetta, ID. Both of these 2 numbers (224-795-4611 and 208-903-8964) use this wording: “Am ok with the condition and price I am ready for its purchase…..coming for the picking up…..paying through paypal….due to my work frame I will not be available for the pick up, but am going to add $900 for the shipping…”
SCAM! This number (and others listed here) contacted me in response to an ad on CraigsList for a Harley motorcycle. Happened as soon as I posted or reposted the ad. No questions regarding condition or price. Just wanted set up pick up and to give me my money. Wants to use PayPal, wants my email and account info, wants to pay me extra for the person to haul it since they are not local. Does not want to talk in person for various reasons. Look out for the following numbers that use similar stories, including the one about the Military guy who is overseas and wants to buy it for his loving father as a surprise. The numbers are: 323-844-5611, 224-795-4611, 208-903-8964. This next one (818-738-7798 ) is a telemarketer with about 80 online reports. I’m sure there will be more numbers to come, but the story is about the same.
just had a text from this same number after posting on craigslist. Lots of scammers out there so be careful. I don't plan to respond after reading your message. Thanks.
just had texts from this number in response to an add for a car on Kijjii- wanted to pay full asking did not want to see car requested their hauler pick it up we pay shipping and handling and they would deposit money into our account through pay pal. Called the number is out of service obviously the same scam reported above.
