I got the same kind of SMS for my Car sell on Craigslist. I want to give a gift to my son for birthday. I work overseas so I can't come to see your car. I will pay full price through PayPal.
It looks Scam to me so I Google the number and find this. Thanks guys for sharing your experience and here I am adding my experience too.
I though it was another scammer. I was almost scammed twice in one day. Once yesterday about my wedding dress and then at 430 a.m. this morning. Boy, these people hitting hard nowadays. Cant dupe me nomore. I aint dumb. Neener neener neener! GAME OVER! Im fixing to contact authorities. Please watch our language? Why dont someone report these idiots, like some do when we use foul language huh?
Thats what I was thinking. I was hoping not so i could get money for our family vacation but DANG IT! Im going to my local authorities and t.v. channel. This has to come to a stop
I got a tex message, not a call, from someone trying to get my paypal account to send me a payment for something I was trying to sell on craigslist. I knew it was a scam, because I got a tex yesterday that was almost the same message, but from a different number. These people need to be stopped because they are going to get someone to give them their personal information, because they wont realize it is a scam and they will get ripped off.
Have a truck for sale on CL in Delaware and have been getting text from this # this evening. Says he wants to buy the truck for his son as a surprise but he's in the Navy and at sea at the moment, doesn't want him to know anything about it. What a bunch of bull!
