The address doesn't exist and I found others that had the same exact e-mail but with a different phone number. Beware.
I just got this today... its a different phone number but same email... it looked like funny business to me so i googled the address... no such address and came upon this site.. just thought i would add this name and number to yalls list!

I got an email from a Philip Baker. I tried to call the number that the person gave me but it wouldnt go through. so i decided i'd look it up on the web and found this page. I'm glad i found it or i would've been in a lot of trouble. THANK YOU!
Received an email responding to my wedding dress ad on Craigslist. They gave the same number as listed on this site but he used name Philip Helb with a hotmail account.
We just got a phone call for the same thing. It would appear, that they call all the same phone numbers, but with different area codes, as our number is the same as yours, but with a different area code. We've gotten 8 calls today, asking about a wedding dress.
