Got a text from this scammer. All due to an ad on Craigslist. Second time they tried this but with two different phone numbers. I wish I had noted the first one and not just registered it as spam, which auto deletes it. Anyway, it asks if your item is still for sale and to please email
[email protected]
Now, they can email me through Craigslist and they can text me. So why would they need me to directly email them? For a scam. They want to purchase your item for sale and have a shipper ready to go. BUT... they have someone who owes them money and will you kindly take that larger check, keep some extra, but send the rest on? Of course the checks aren't any good.
I always check emails before ever emailing them. For no other purpose as they get one through and they will email you like crazy. To check and email I just type it straight into google and see what comes up.
I told the person at the other end that I didn't like scamming A***oles.... and then reported their number through Mr. Number and here. As well as clicked the little thing next to the number on my cell phone that says to report as spam and to stop them from responding.
