Got the same text on cell-phone from 206-453-2171 as everyone above for a "want" ad on CL. Couldn't see the photo on phone; advised by their response to check with computer if I couldn't see it. Dumb-a** me did it, but my computer wouldn't complete the Picsoft upload. Got the others, but as soon as the computer warned me, I stopped everything and un-installed them. Several apps seemed legit, but two were hard to un-install. And one really did do a number on my home site, with graphics, etc. Truthfully, I thought it was more about selling programs than it was installing malware...I don't know, but I haven't noticed any problems with my lap-top. When I called the above number, an automated reply said that there was no such number...

Same deal here. But I assumed it was some chick sending photos which seems to happen a lot thru cl motorcycle ads...which I have one listed right now. Not only guys lost bikes on cl! Those chicks are nasty lol. Glad I didn't open as it was probably malware instead. Blocked numbed now

I have an ad cl for barter and this number came across my phone to view what they had to trade, I opened the link and it said to go to photo-host and view the pictures there. It then said to big for my device to view from desk or laptop, I do so and it asked for me to down load a gimp file to view, never heard of this gimp file so I left the site

Im in portsmouth, va, i posted an add on craigslist for my atm machine and about 3 days later i get a text from that number asking me if i would trade for this... and its a web link for a photo site that wants you to install a linux program that alows them access to your computer. Its a good thing i have a i phone because there site did not know how to handel the device so it alowed me to gain access to them and then it told me that i must come back to the site with my pc or laptop! Bad number but its being taken care of.
