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.
Caller from this number identified himself as Daniel. He has an Indian accent and contacted motels in our chain, Budget Host Inns. He said he was from the corporate office and was shipping t-shirts to the motels. He asked for telephone numbers at the property and referred to some kind of codes. This is a scam. Our corporate office did not issue any t-shirts and has no representative like this.
I got this call from An Anonmyous number, named Jaime, male. Said he was calling from BCC registering you as your number to be blocked from Telemarketers. Same thing, he asked if interested, hang up and someone will call with the code. When I answered the phone, I got the pin, and called back the number 1-415-366-0260. No answer. No ne called back. What do I do next? I beleive it is really a scam.
This person called my called phone from that number 415-366-0260 and the recording said Craig list not a scam. But it is a scam. And gave me a code and that person is from myspace.com site. Name is madison1grl. She goes by two names the first one is Maddy Balshaw, from Cincinnati, Ohio. And the second one is Maddie Rupp, from Honolulu,Hawaii, in the states of the USA.
Thank you for all information above there!
