This number just connected me about my boat. They did not respond when I asked them why were they in PA and the boat is in TN (since this is a local ad).
This guy tried to scam me on my car that I posted for sale on craigslist. here is the convo from my text messages.
Him (7:06pm): "is this still available for sale? kindly get back to me asap..." he then copied the details from my craigslist add and pasted them in the text.
Me: "Yes, it is still available, we can schedule a time/place like walmart to meet if you like."
Him: "Im ready to pay your asking price and to be honest, i want to buy this for my brother as a gift for him. I am a marine engineer that works on the sea at the moment. Phone calls and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out some time to check this advert and sent you a text regarding it. My payment mode would be PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime. I will be responsible for all the pay pal fee/charges on this transiaction if you"
Me(7:30pm): "How would your brother recieve the vehicle if you are at sea?" (wary of scam)
Him(2:48am!!!!!!): "as soon as you give me your paypal email address and i pay you up, i will arrang for the pick up. so i want you to give me your paypal email address so that i can pay you up immediately."
Now i was sure it was a scam and upset about the hour of the night so i did not reply. I googled his number this morning and found this site!!!
