Had the same thing happen to me with a CL post about a found dog. Very glad I did not pursue it!! Thanks for your post!

Hi, saw your cleaning ad on CL- could you do thiss job (see pics) To be started asap <<pic-att>>http://pixsho.net/?photo=352SRP Estimated $ ? Thanks

Got a text about my craigslist ad for my motorcycle. Had the same problem as above - device not compatible. I'm glad I googled the number!

got a message about my motorcycle on craigslist tried to open in phone directed me to a computer checked it out it was an ad for GIMP the site it sends you to is a bogus GIMP site where indeed the file is malicious BEWARE...

Just got a text from them too... Tried to open from my iPad but it directed me to a desktop. Thought it was weird so I googled the number and am so glad I didn't open it.

i got a text from this number 949 229-3645 asked about a dump trailer I have for rent on craigslist. Sent some pics that I couldn't open. I called the number back it was a non working number? how can this be how can someone text you from a non working number

Received a text with pictures attached from this # inquiring about my craigslist ad. Could not open the pics from my phone, it said "Device not Compatible. Please view from a desktop or laptop computer" . If you try to open from your computer it directs you to download some bogus free picture viewing  software. DON'T do it!!!!!!!!!! Probably some trojan virus/software. Also called the # right back after receiving the text, "Out of Service" - Not really a big surprise.

Got text inquiring about my legal services for the case "see pictures".  Didn't open it, now glad I didn't.  Tried to call the number just 3 hours after getting text and it's now out of service.

Obviously a text phishing number. Don't trust it!

thank you they messaged me about carpet cleaning thought it was weird will not open it sabitoge

Got a text from this number who sent me a link with Trojan in it.  Beware!
