I was contacted for a service by this number and it felt fishy. He gives a different name and email. Wondering if it is the same guy. His text was enough to make me google his number and all this came up.
This Patrick Jones texted saying he was a Naval Officer and wants my Dodge Dakota!!!said he can email only and has to pay through Paypal as he cannot access his bank account at sea! truck was posted on craigslist

Remember to return here, to 800notes.com, after you look at any of the information at that site, either to post more information, or to let us know you avoided the scam, or to read any further information about that number that others may post.
I'm glad I googled his name and number. I received a text from him stating he could only receive emails because he was a naval officer and wouldn't have his phone because he was going out to sea. That seemed a little funny to me that he could, what? Send one last text before stepping on the boat??? And to a Craigslist AD??? From a FL 407 area code when I listed a truck on Craigslist from KY? Why do you need a commercial-sized truck if you're heading "off to sea". Really?! These idiots need to do better than this.
THANKS FOR THE SITE!! people need to share each & every time these shady individuals try to scam. Get the word out!
