I'd like to know how to find the user of this number - guessing they might be encouraged to stop if they were paid a face to face visit by one of the people they've tried to hurt.  
This crap has to stop - and if law enforcement cannot find time or resources to act, then someone else must.

Receive several messages from this number text messages trying to buy my boat that I have listed on craigslist. Beware. Scammer refused to call me when I asked to speak to them directly. They also asked me for my PayPal account.

esta persona me essta llamando para que le deposite dinero es un fraude

Can't the FBI or somebody put a stop to this guy? Its Aug 2013 looks like the first post about this being a scammer was in January of 2013... I guess there is no way to stop him or them... tried to scam my on a CL for my truck listing in Illinois... guess he can just do this for a living forever.

Crags list scammer..

Thank you, Thank You.

I am trying to sell a car, and guess what, this person is deployed and is going to send an agent.  Thank you very much for saving me!!

Same texting on a camper.i was selling  CL in fargo nd....I told him I didnt have a paypal bc I didnt have bank acct and he saud thats only way he buys stuff.. im gonna play along for a little bit

I got a response from this same number today over an ad on Craigslist.  I googled the area code and found it to be a NY based area code.  So I then looked up the number on google and found this site.  SCAM ARTIST.  Advised the person using this number to stop contacting me IMMEDIATELY....

called this guys bluff..sent him a screen shot from google and told him do you think I am stupid??

Yyyyeahhhh, another wanna be a bike purchase from AZ when they live in NY. The paypal thing and being "deployed" from work, what ever that means. His "Agent" will pick it up once the monies clear.

Not looking good from my end. What a DIP @#$%. 646-504-9549.

glad I googled this number!  thanks for all the information everyone!

Just received a text from this number +1 (646) 504-9549... Asking me questions about my sale ad on CL and wanting more information and Paypal accounts... I googled the number was directed here and confronted the hustler...the number stopped texting and blocked me.. Glad I searched before further info was exchanged..

I got the same message and I just thought it looked suspious from the start so I looked up the number and found this site.  If you smell smoke there is prob some fire somewhere.   The scumbag is looking fo paypal and email account.  Note: Why would anyone want to buy a bike in CA when they live in NY?  Make sure it passes the smell test!

THIS GUY TRIED GETTING MY E MAIL INFO AND PAY PAL INFO DO NOT TALK TO

WE got the same, interested in a vehicle on Craigs lIst, then asked if I had a pay pal account.... at 2am.

Got a text from this number trying to get into my paypal. Knew right away it was a scam. sucks that this has to pop up all the time.

Whose # is this? Any help is appreciated.

Same story. Several texts from this #.  When we said item on CL was still available, individual acted as if they had already closed the deal.  Had even provided an address for his/her "agent" in Ca.  That address was a house for sale.  Only offered $750 over the price of the car for us to give to the agent.  Hah!

Sean & Zark,
If you know so much, then why wouldn't you share and shame publicly??

I would like to slam these D-bags too!

Text from this number about my CL listing.  I ignored!  
But came here and glad my hunch was right!  Thanks!!

Got a text as well from the number. Found the address and where the messages are being sent from. This person is done for.

Got a text from # above.  Thanks for the info!!!
