Text response to Craigslist ad.  Pretty sure it's someone using this number for phishing scam.

Received a suspicious text response to a Cragslist ad today.  I'm thinking it's someone using this number for some kind of scam.

had a response to a craigslist ad we posted for our 3 person waverunner. he responded via email that his name was Peter Flood. I wrote him back, he said he's out of state due to work and would be willing to pay via paypal. I didn't give him any personal info other than my email address and sent him an invoice. this morning I get up and there are 2 fake emails from paypal saying my payment has been processed. I knew they were fake right away because of how they were written. The real email address they are from is onlinetransfers@care2.com we immediatley checked our paypal account and called them, they confirmed that there was in fact no payment and that their records indicated that the email address was already flagged as a spoof. They asked me to forward them the emails. Now the only probelm is this guy does have my husband's cell number and has still been texting him this morning. We are going to report it to authorities! so be aware of this number and be very wary of giving out any info, I am glad that we were so cautious!!!

Had put a bike for sale in Craigslist today - Peter Flood texted me from that same number asking if the bike was still for sale.  Tried calling him back (did not text), and there is a filter/block on that line asking who is calling.  Time to block Mr. Flood?

I put a motorcycle up for sale and received a message from "Bill Scott" (I guess he's changed his name), which said "Still available for sale? I want to purchase..send me your email to discuss or you can text me. (513) 334-4617". The grammar sounded off, and he immediately asked for my personal email when this is unnecessary with craigslists system, so that immediately set off red flags leading me here.
