I placed an ad on craigslist today and got a text from "Caroline" on this number within 15 minutes of posting. They claimed their phone dropped too many calls when I suggested they call me directly. They too said they would buuy my item sight unseen.
Well, they are trying to scam you. Send you a phony check with some extra added in for "shipping" and tell you to immediately send money to some third party to pay the "shipping" and other costs. You send them good money and of course the check you deposited turns out to be no good. Endless CL scam. Just never stops.
Same issue. Posted something on Craigs list and got a response from an Alex. They asked for my phone number so I gave it. Then got a text and Caroline was the name I got. Glad I checked here. Number is now blocked. Thanks all!
I got a text inquiring about my furniture and TV. They wanted to know if I was the original owner, what's the best price and if I have a Paypal account. I googled this number that lead me here. Yes, they are scammers....
