I have an ad on Craiglist in Texas to sell a head board an frame for $500. Someone at this number texts me asking if I still had it and what's my final price. After replying yes and $500, they then ask me if I will hold it till next week because they want to buy the bed for their mother that just relocated to a new house.
I replied with "first come first served" and was countered with "How soon do you want the payment? I'll be paying via certified check if you don't mind." I then responded with " call me".
Next text was "Okay can you hold it for me till next week? Cos I'll be willing to buy the Bed for my Mom whose just related to new house." I then responded, after looking up the number here, with " Your number is in Chicago, Where is your mother's house?"
Their response "I can't be there in person due to nature of my job, It's a gift for my mum, she lives half an hour to ur area. my mover will come for the pick up." I then responded with "I've heard this scam before. Not interested."

I too have an ad on Craigslist in Fl and received a text from this number, asking if the bedroom set was still available, I replied back saying yes and then at 5:45 am I received another text from this number saying How soon do you want the payment? I'll be paying viz certified bank certified cashier check. If you don't mind.
I tried calling the number and receive a voicemail that I cannot understand the man sounds like he is from a different country??
I text the number back letting them know I have reported this to the police, craiglist and online....
I have an add on craigslist (California Location), and someone from this number text me asking if my dress was still for sale and what is my asking price? When I responded back, almost right away they responded with saying that they wanted to buy it right away and wanting my personal information so they can send a cashiers check, but wanted to ship my dress to them today.
This person is a scam artist! I called my local police dept. and they are further investigating this person.
