You guys know I sell birds and eggs. One of the places I advertise is on Craigslist. Tonight I was contacted by a scammer.

I'm no retard, so no big deal. However, some of these scams seem innocent enough. Some have a friendly human being on the other end knowledgeable in whatever you have for sale.

Don't take a check. Don't take a cashier's check. Don't read anyone a code you were sent to verify you're real. If someone wants to buy a few dollars in goddamn eggs, fuck them if they can't bring you cash without some kind of runaround.

Use your brain. Don't get your identity stolen or your phone hijacked or whatever Dinesh is trying to scam out of you.

You mean the deal I got on a 2021 Tesla 300D is a scam?? It was only $1,800.00. I used bitcoin. JOKING JOKING JOKING. Yes you want to see scams look up a few $1,900.00>> 2020 Honda's.

I think this was to use my number to register/verify an account somewhere. IDK, but it was probably just part of the process to scam other people while covering his ass.

what;s wrong with reading the code?

Nothing is wrong with reading the code, but giving it to the scammer means you just served as verification for something shady. Or, they just used your # to verify an account of some type.

Man I found someone who had Gambles Quail chicks on CL. However Covid happened and couldnt get in touch with them. Got everything needed for an enclosure too...

I can still find regular quail but I really wanted a pair of gambles.

That'd be cool. They're pretty tiny and don't tolerate being packed together, but it'd be great to show off.

"More", but not exclusively. You'd have to try one!

You didnt say what the scam was

I assume it was to connect my phone number to a Google voice number or something similar. He didn't get that far.

Bright side of scams like that is you get plausible deniability for things.

Never thought of that!
