Just fell for the scam from this guy? unfortunately sent my details before twigging - Have sent subsequent mail saying reporting the incident to the fraud board.
Does anyone know of bad repercussions from this idiot?
Think about this. I'm trying to prove a point to one of my lawmaker friends in Wisconsin.
Have you ever used your affected phone number to do ANY business with Craigslist?
Have you posted it on Craigslist to sell something?
Have you used the number to "verify an account" with Craigslist?
I'm almost POSITIVE that Craigslist is how these scammers are getting your numbers. Either Craigslist is selling their "account verification" phone lists to them, and/or computers are scanning ads to get your numbers off of there, unless you spell out the number (i.e.- three two four six two four five). It is common knowledge that computers DO INDEED scan the Craigslist ads for the numbers- unless it's spelled out.
