Someone with this number (out of state, NY) texted yesterday about a $40 Craigslist item. Because the item value was low, and because they asked specific details about it before going after any personal info, I thought it was legit. Now that I've refused a money order and asked for their location, it's been radio silence. I'm not 100% sure this is a scammer, but something doesn't smell right. Kind of bummed that I got suckered into emailing them directly, but oh well. (P.S. *IF* this turns out to be legitimate, I will update.)
