Got a text message from this scammer minutes after posting 4 snow tires for sale. Funny thing is his area code is for Dallas, Texas. Didn't know it snowed much in Dallas!
Craigslist text message scammer - wrote "is it still for sale write me on [email protected]" followed by a copy and paste of the title of the posting, which is not done by real people
This was followed up with another bogus text (the post was for tickets for a baseball game):
"My name is dan lawrence and I'm really interested in buying this for someone. I will pay you via paypal only as its safe and secured online payment. I won't be able to look at it due to the nature of my work but I'll be responsible for the payment fees and I'll have my private mover pick it up from you once the payment has clear to your account. Please am I the first to contact you about it since you've posted it for sale online?why are you selling it?where would you like to meet my mover for pick up?I can assure you that this deal will be hassle free so do you have a paypal account already for the payment?
