I have a car listed here and also on my local Craigslist. I made the mistake of putting my cell phone number on the posting. I have not sold a car in a while so I've been out of the scammer-loop. I got an almost immediate text response from an anonymous person in Akron Ohio who would "buy the car at your price as long as I said it was running OK" and wanted personal PayPal account information. It's like a new version of the "African Prince and I need money" scam or something. This person, or bot, would not call, or take a call, nor ask or answer any questions. Anyway, I blocked the number and took my number out of my postings. Crazy world.
