I placed an advertisement on craigslist and this person responded with a cookie cutter scam - they were away on "business", would pay me more for my item to hold it, and would pay via money order.  

Same scam with me on 1/15/14, about my craigslist ad. Scammer texted me. Away on business, was willing to pay asking price, could only pay by money order. Would send an extra $40 (so I can keep it in their favor). Wanted my name and address so they could send me the money order.

kept sending me text messages that wanna buy something
475-235-0650

same scenario where this person is texts looking to buy but suspicious.  No name just phone number.  dont respond.

Other people have already told me about this person with Connecticut area code.  they tried to schedule meeting and they just wanted their address and never showed up.  

same problem on Craigslist.  You should report it to the scam center on Craigslist.
