I just got a txt from this number asking a bunch of stupid questions about a car I am selling in Hawaii. Everything they ask is posted online, so obviously it is a scam.

Got a text message from this number (571)335-1713 at 1 am, they texted me about the car I have for sale and before writing back to that person I decided to look up the number and my gut feeling was right! It's a freaking scam. This person texted me saying this,[[ (1/2) Thanks for the response, I will like to ask few questions before I proceed on. Why are you selling it ? How long have you been using (2/2)it ? Are you the first owner ? Can you lower your price a bit ? Hope to reading back from you soon.]] then I replied back and this person wrote back saying this.. [[(1/3)Thanks, Im okay with your price and condition , and this is my first time of buying on Craigslist and I will like to pay you through (2/3)PayPal, so do send me your PayPal email address for the payment or log on to www.paypal.com to set up a PayPal Account if you are new (3/3)to PayPal. Do that and get back to me also with your address or current location of the vehicle for pick up.]] after I did my research and received this message back I told him or her to [***] off and that I will do a report for scamming! Like really?? Who would sell their car online? That's so stupid! He literally asked me for everything!! Someone really stupid would fall for this.

6/8/13 Same syndrome - Late Night / Early Morning Text message from 571-335-1713 located in Virginia inquiring about an ad on Craigslist in Los Angeles.

I have got the same thing for my car in hawaii. They also txt me from 443-296-2203 with the above same questions. They also say they are in the Air force. Being military I played along and they are unable to provide any real confirmation to back up their story. I wish people wouldnt waste my time.

Keeps calling me and I ask them to stop. It about a vehicle I have for sale on craigslist in arizona.
