This guy messages me claiming to be an old man that can't get up and meet anywhere. I live in Vegas. He says he lives in Illinois. Well why does he have a Los Angeles area code!? He text me from another number also. Beware. 2136326338. He said he'd mail a check UPS that he was giving me extra money on the check to cash and then take $50 for his guy that is gonna deliver and apparentlyhas an office locally . Dumb.
This is a scammer, do not respond back to his texts. I am in the bay area, and his phone area code is from LA. Beware do not respond he will sell your phone number to other scammers.
