Just got a text from this same person on CL. Same exact message. Didn't give out any info as it sounded fishy. Nice to get confirmation on here. Always good to google phone #'s!
I posted furniture on Craigslist and this person texted me this:
"I need your full name and address.Am paying by money order,will add $50 for keeping it for me."

Remember to return here, to 800notes.com, after you look at any of the information at that site, either to post more information, or to let us know you avoided the scam, or to read any further information about that number that others may post.
Craigslist & Kijiji are social media selling sites. Person - to - person. It isn't eBay. You post something, they come & look at it (in the flesh, so to speak), they give you cash & then carry. Just put 'No checks, No Paypal, No text, in person' in your next ad. Cuts through the dead wood.
Posted some audio stuff. I just had the same result as you. Straws..was his name..Want to send me 50 + 50..then send me a bigger check . Looks like a scam.
I got the same thing today...first he asks if the merchandise is still available...then he asks for my name and address to sent me payment. I already called him out and I thought this was a scam...He said it wasn't but now that I am reading this...It's obvious its a scam....you don't do this a zillion times if you are a legitimate buyer.
