Got the same response as others did from a craigs list ad. Txt phone num 904-345-0193 and will wire the money for the vehicle to me. I knew it was a scam so I responded "where do I send the money to". (Its funny I was selling a car that they responded to but I txt i will send money to you but need name and address)They replyed back with a address and name and told me to send western union money transfer. Then I told them I got a Western Union Money Order and will mail it out today. LOL They replied no can't mail it return money order and Western Union the transfer. Get them the merchant tracking number. I am still playing with them now. Probably someone in a computer coffee shop in Africa or India. I want to waste as much of there time as possible! LMAO I reverse looked up the name and address they gave me. I found a person by that name near by but not at the address given. Want to see if it is really the true name or they are scamming from overseas. Hope I am wasting there time and money! [***]! If I find out it is the person they sent name I may take more action. I do have way more improtant things to do. But want to mess with them. GT
