This smelled a bit too fishy to me.  Like "John Henry" or "Henry Jon" wasn't enough of a tip off!  Glad I looked up the #.  It took all of 30 seconds for him to click on my profile & send the message so I had already suspected it was a cut & paste.  Here's the message I received on a dating site...

This person contacted me stating they were in the ARMY!!!! Yes, via FACEBOOK!!!! My profile is suppose to be FRIENDS only! I don't know who this person is. BUT, they need to be turned in for impersonating an ARMY SOLDIER!

I'm in Denver, got a non-specific inquiry about an item that I had for sale and if I still had it right after I posted it on cl. English doesn't seem right, I googled the email address taylarharry02@gmail.com and I am getting south America hits. I am going to pass on this guy.

my item is for sale in Hawaii. I live here. I get plenty of scam texts and last night, i tested on with this one guy who stated he would immediately paypal me money and have an agent pick up the item from me. thne he said he was US Navy. so i asked him many questions about the Navy (cause i'm in the Navy) and he couldn't answer a single question right. SCAM SCAM SCAM. be aware guys/gals.

We got the exact same text message as June did except ours came in at 6:00 am MST.  Thanks for this site for helping us from getting scammed!

received a message around 1:54 am is it still avaiable for sale, iam ready to purchase it asap,i anticipate that i'll have a certified check issued out to you from my bank i'm in no rush with  you till fund's are cleared in your bank which takes only a day. you do not have to bother yourself about  the shipping i'll instruct co agent to come for pickup at your door,when you must have gotten your cash at hand.kindly text me back with. message ends there phone number is 6467839146.

I received a text a little after 2 in the MORNING... I'm in California and when I Googled the area code, they are in NEW YORK!  They wanted to know if my bedroom set was still available... really, like they can't find one on the East Coast?   I'm so tired of these scammers, we seem to get one each time we put an item on Craigslist... isn't there a way to stop them?

Got a text from 646-783-9146 asking if the boat was still for sale and wanted my Pay Pal Acoount # so he could pay for it immediately. I became suspicious because he didn't even want to see pics of the boat and wanted to pay $200 more than asking price. You know the old saying..."If it sounds too good to be true it probably is".

yea i to got a call from the number above and it def was a scam seem to good to be true and yes i also was specific on my craigslist ad! but if do get a call from this number its deff a scam! i  wish it doesnt happen to any one else

I posted something for sale on Craig's list in Colorado Springs and got a text today saying they hoped I haden't already sold it.  I noticed this was the number it was from...and my ad was very specific about calling only.....It really makes me mad when some people make everyone look bad.  Craig's list is a great site...I hope they get these people.
