It's not just on RJ I got a suspicious text on ad I have on Craig's list.
Wanted my info to send his mover. I told him it was just a carb why did he need a mover and never heard back.
Goggled the phone number and it came back to New York. I was trying to sell it local to avoid having to mess
with shipping and do a face to face transaction and they still try.

I sell a lot of big items on Craig's List like blocks and engines, heavy stuff that I don't want to ship. As soon as I list an ad, I get multiple emails with general, bogus info asking to meet me someplace generic like the gas station after work and wanting me to reply to their GMAIL to set up the time. It just goes with the territory of trying to sell online. Used to they never stated what specific item they were interested in, but now starting to get ones that actually name the for sale item. But the Engish is still not good enough that you can tell it is bogus. If you answer to a GMAIL address you don't know, they are just going to sell your email to someone or worse get your personal info and try and get your money somehow. JMO.
