I received texts from this number saying they wanted my car after seeing it on craigslist. He is an oceanographer, will be traveling soon, and wants to buy it asap for his son. After supposedly putting my asking price of $7,900 into my pay pal account, I became suspicious when they said that I would have to western union the guys who came to pick up the car $900 as a pick up fee. So I guess I would have ended up with no car, no money, and out $900? although the phone number they used was 571-357-5495 he also called besides texting. I told him that would get back to him after checking with paypal. he then called again I told him that we could do any other type of transaction but not pay pal. never called or text again.
Getting text messages about an item I have on Craigslist form this number. Whomever it is states they cannot call like ad states due to they speak poor english. Wants to send company to pick up item once payment clears pay pal. Well I would not do that because I am selling a 16 foot boat and he stated he needed it urgently but also contradicted himself and said he was offshore in service. Well if he is offshore why would he need the boat urgently? I have a strong feeling this is a scammer. Beware of this number.
Same Guy text me about my CTS and had many questions like:
Why am I sell the car? Was the car parked in a gargage? How many owners? Do I have maintenance record? etc.. I agree with Debbi that he is probably a scammer.
Why do people ask "why are you selling it?" Do they do to a store for a gallon of milk and ask the person behind the counter "Why are you selling this milk" LOL
