i called the number he texted me from and an foreigner with bad english answered. i asked several questions and he wasn't able to answer me correctly (i asked tell me what you're selling again and what is your pelican name?). he got very aggressive and i hung up.
be vigilant out there people. scammers intercept wanted ads and responses to ads trying to get you to send them payment. i ****in hate thieves.
