It's a scam and they're getting more ambitious, if not more sophisticated.
In the last week or two, I've gotten:
- A text message supposedly from craigslist telling me that my posting was flagged and I needed to click on the link provided to "renew my account", or some schit, (by providing my email and other info).
-An actual phone call from a Nigerian scammer, (at least that where he sounded like he was from), wanting to send a bogus check for something I'm selling online. This was a first.
-An email telling me that my Chase account was experiencing fraud and I needed to click a link to verify it. I do not have a Chase account.
-All the usual email phishing scams on CL when you're trying to sell something.
