I also got this number in response to my Craig's List ad in Atlanta. They want me to text the number with my "final price" for the "item". It is a red flag when they do not refer to the specific item in the ad.
Received an email to text with my "final price" on a painting I posted on Craig's list. I don't think so... I always post on ebay as well; weeds out the riff raff...
