I believe a scammer trying to buy high value furniture off craig's list remotely

Yes it is a CL scammer. I just got a text from this scumbag.

CL scammer!!! Don't believe what they tell you! Very very pushy trying to get info from you on PayPal accounts and anything else they can get! Not happy with trying to sell stuff on Craig's List!! To many out of state scammers. Be very careful with out of state numbers contacting you for high priced furniture!!

Why these people don't figure out we will Google them is beyond me. I have had three so far for a pool table. All refuse to speak on the phone and have all sorts of reasons for why they can't show up in person or pay cash. Total scammer.

Definite SCAM. Sent text about nice furniture I posted on Craig's list. Would not call me or give email address for me to send additional items I was going to sell. Wanted Pay Pal ID. When I volunteered to send a request for funds from a relative's account if we worked something out  they said I should go to PayPal.com and open one. Wanted price for other furniture without even seeing what it was. When I asked for their name and location they never responded again. Another site has this number listed by multiple people as scammers also- hacking pay pal accts  etc. Defintely Beware.

He just texted me about an expensive rug I have on CL.  I texted him back and said I would be glad to deal with him but due to the "troublesome" history associated with his phone number I would only deal in certified funds.

My husband and I posted high end furniture and since day 1 this number 707-879-8597 wanting to purchase it, wanting our paypal account, and also wanting us to pay the shipping. What are these scammers fools or just plain stupid.

Just happen to me too.  Wants to use Goggle Wallet??? Thoughts

This just happened to us too. They wanted pay pal info.

I just got a text on my furniture add on CL. I said do not text back.

We have been getting strange text messages today from this number about buying office furniture. Person will not answer calls only text. Gave them PayPal information. Now worried.

I received a text message from this number and because I've gotten so many scammers from Craigslist, I decided to check the number out. I'm glad I did based on the information on this website.

707-879-8597   This is a number connected to a Craigslist Scam Artist.  Said his name was Larry Smith. Asked for my name, address,phone....said he would send me a certified check for my furniture.  Long story short, he is a Repeated Scam Artist. Do not give people your name, address, personal information. They  target you, rob your house, they victimize innocent people, steal money and possessions any way they can.

I reported this number to the Federal Trade Commission. 877-382-4357.  They filed a complaint for me in less than a minute and were very helpful!!!!

Got an email in the middle of the night from this number.  Wants to buy furniture I am selling on craigslist.  Does this sound familiar.  This morning ask for my paypal account.  Thanks for the post, confirmed it is a scam

Yes…  This person is a complete scam!  We are tracing them now.  Here is a text we got from them.
