Same here! Recently I received a text message asking if I was selling the item. I agreed to sell item only upon receiving payment so I offered Paypal which is more secure and the person did not want to. I asked to call each other and the person said he/she was hearing impaired and asked to contact only through text. The person then asked for my address to send a private shipper upon cashing the check but it was to awkward. I checked the number on Google and found out its a SCAM. Only accept payment through PAYPAL.
I received the same kind of email from a reply from craigslist replying to something I was selling. They gave me this phone number and obviously this number is a fraud it's likely some bunch of idiotic low life's in the US who are trying to scam people out of their money.
