Pretty obvious it's a scammer

Forward the text to 7726:

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

I should have also mentioned that Craigslist had posted warnings on their site about this type of scam--hats off to them for warning customers!

Posted an RV for sale on Craigslist on 11/3/12--got a text on from this number the next morning offering to purchase my RV, and requsted my Paypal e-mail account.  Called the number and a man with an Asian / Oriental accent answered -- there were lots of noises in the background.  Could barely understand the person.  Sounded too suspicious--after I disconnected the call, immediately got another text again asking for my Paypal e-mail.  Definitely sounds like scammers trying to cheat people out of their money...but not today :)

This is a craigs list scammer.  Do not reply to text message or you will be cheated, report call to your state attorney generals office and to F.B.I.
