I have been recieving text messages from this number trying to get me to send money to them. When would not respond they claimed to call the police...

Responded to my craigslist ad to sell my vehicle, offers more than what your asking price is, very difficult to get info from and when he gave me a phone number this was phone number listed, if you google the phone number numerous websites come up that there are craigslist vehicle buyer scams associated with this number. So beware!!!

I've gotten text messages from the same number 205-291-8564 responding to a Craigs List add.  Offers to pay above asking price, but is out of area and can't pay cash.  Wants PayPal account info.  Likely a scam, particularly after reading others having similar sorts of interaction with sme number.
Thanks
