Remember to return here, to 800notes.com, after you look at any of the information at that site.

Got a text reply to Arkansas Craigslist ad for motorcycle, says he's in the army, phone svc poor and he must text only, his phone # (landline) is in California, he wants to deposit funds in my PayPal acct. and send someone to pick up the bike. Ignores my suggestion that we email.   PayPal security says this is a very common scam.

This idiot is contacting people through care.com and trying to scam caregivers.
