Posted on criagslist for sofa. Used exact same messages as above. Do not respond to this person and report them to Craigslist and authorities

Received the same text message from this individual.  It appears they are simply cutting/pasting the same message to all since the spelling and spacing is the same.  

Stay away from this phone number.

I got the same story but her name is Kate LOL.  She just texted me to tell me she is having problems with the "agent" that will pick up the bed.  LOL.  I am glad I googled her number.  It started to sound a little fishy.  that said, does anyone want a Tempurpedic Rhapsody Queen size bed? LOL

This number has been identified as a known Craigslist scammer and total [***] !  Insist that you reach them at bellotivivian@gmail.com.  

text from many different phone numbers to also include 919-374-8197.  Always do a Google search on anyone insisting that you contact them at a different email address instead of using the "reply" button from your Craigslist ad.

Protect yourself from this fraudulent A-Hole.

She also just texted me wanting to know the present condition of a latex mattress I'm selling on craigslist and wants me to reply to her at bellotivivian@gmail.com, which someone else listed above. I barely listed this mattress on craigslist a few days ago and the only responses I get are from people like this trying to do scams and texting me directly on my cell phone. I even updated the ad to say "only serious inquiries from local buyers" but this is the 3rd person I have gotten this type of text message from. All 3 of them say something about how because of the nature of their work they will not be able to come see it. Keep in mind I'm offering a used luxury mattress and am asking $2500 or best offer, yet they don't even try to haggle. She is the 1st one who asked about the current condition. After reading all of these complaints, I don't plan on even bothering to answer. I wouldn't even put my cell phone number on the ad, but I don't have a smart phone, so I don't get my emails on my phone. Thank you all for reporting all of this so that I could be aware.
