I also got a craigslist rental property reply with this number ("text only"), even though my listing explicitly stated that inquiries were to be made only through another site and direct messages would not be returned.
This number texted me, wanting to pay me twice the value for some electronics listed on Craigslist. Wanted to send me money and have items shipped. Definitely a phishing ploy-- don't fall for this one.
This number is also linked to a Craigslist scam using PayPal . Made a post and someone text me from this number asking me to set up a Paypal account . I saw the scam a mile away and obviously did not set up an account . Decided to google the telephone number and my hunch was indeed correct . This number is plastered all over the web linking it to many scams across the country .
