WARNING, a person using the name Terry Scott will send you a text message from the phone number 1-541-805-2233 in Oregon saying he wants to buy your item, be very careful it is a SCAM. He just tried it on me. ThomasT

Maybe it's this guy from Albany County, Oregon.

Or he could be legit. What's the details of the scam?

Hi Ken, this guy would only text message to me and would not answer his phone or call me back. He wanted to send me a check and have "his movers" come pick up the item. As you know I live close to you here in Texas and I was very suspicious when he wanted personal information. When I insisted that he call me, he stopped sending text messages. From the emails that I have received from others, this is his pattern. ThomasT

Don't be fooled by the phone #. You can use yahoo or g-mail to choose a phone # anywhere in the USA. You can live in NYC and have a LA area code if you want people to think you live in LA.

I wonder if this guy was originally from England? I get them all the time, and just hit the spam button.
