This # keeps texting me every time I list something for big $$$ on Craigslist - boat, car, whatever. It's definitely a bot with terrible english, and never knows what I'm selling... always asks "is item still for sell?". Really? "For Sell?" All your bases are belong to us? lol Huge red flags, nobody should respond to this #.
Same information happen to me, selling large ticket item on craigslist. copied item description in text and asked "item for sell" stated he was in the military.
this person is stupid he keeps sending the same mess on craigslist ..
i keep telling him he has been reported and he is a SCAM for shore dont give him any info he wont buy anything .. hell try to get your paypal and take all your money
Thank you!! I was contacted by this "military man tonight" wanting my Paypal acct ASAP!! That definitely sent up a red flag. I appreciate this site thanks again!
total scam i posted a truck for sale on craig s list. he is not military he using a phishing scam do not give him any paypal account info. he will email you with a phony email from paypal saying your amount has been created the amount. then once you deposit he will empty your bank account.
