Same message here only it was for our car posting. After reading the comments on here my husband sent him a text and asked him if he got the bike for his son too. He sent a message back and said.....I don't understand you.
I just got a text from this number on a bike I have posted. I texted back because I want to play around with this scam. Guy says his name is Mark James from Philly but his number says Evanston, Illinois. Says he works there at a government agency. Google earth shows the address as a house. Makes you go, "HMMMM".
Received a message about a bike posting, said he was on a military base so I couldn't call and he wanted it to be a gift for his son, didn't want him to know anything about it and wanted my paypal information to prepare for payment. Broken english. I told him that his phone number had several reports of being a scammer. No reply. Surprise surprise.
