Steve,
They're all correct. It is from Craigslist, I'll tell you exactly what happened.
C-list changed their policies on posting multiple ads from the same account.
Many power users who post 100+ ads a day therefore must have multiple accts.
Now C.list requires each account to be phone verified.
Meaning you need a verification # sent by c.list to your phone to activate each acct.
Google: 'Craigslist PVA's' see what I mean
You'll see dedicated websites selling PVA's for $6-$13 each.
C-list says 1 posting per acct per 48 hrs, and no cross posting to multiple cities.
So imagine those power users need lot of phone #'s for cheap,
and this verification # he was hoping you'd pass along to him.
Power users even change their IP address, use proxies, to get around the rules.
The message I posted earlier I believe is a host / scam I would not encourage anyone to respond to this I copy and pasted my earlier message that I received and I am flagging it for others protection don't know what the heck it is doing on Craigslist but do not respond to it I don't believe that anyone will receive these items.
My wife just reported that a man named Mike David called and said he was from the state health inspection team. Texas has a State Health Department, but no inspections. That they were going to do a health inspection at 2pm tomorrow. Same as with everyone else. Heavy Indian accent. Asked for everyones phone number in her business. I told her not to worry about any inspection that this was some kind of scam. She wants me there at 2pm. Arrrgggghhhhh. The phone number that one of the customers got was 415-366-0260. I have been trying to call it, but is busy all the time.
Wanted me to verify the code and was told, per craigslist posting they wanted 10000 people to test new iphone 4 and we get to keep the phone after the test was over....
I got same call from760-705-8888 and he told me that he was calling from Pepsi HQ and then some one will call me to give me a code. Then I got phone call from 415-366-0260 and I got some code. After few minutes he called me back and wanted to know the code but I told him that I am going to report his number to police and then he hang up.
