I am looking for a job and have things for sale on craigslist so could be anybody.

The 979 area code is HUGE. It used to include Houston but they got so any people they began using 713 and the 832 and maybe more now.

979 is, pretty much any county outside of Houston Harris County. To the west and south it includes  Galveston, Brazoria, Matagorda, Fort Bend, Wharton counties.
