I advertised an expensive piece of furniture on Craig's List. I keep receiving texts from this number. I think it is a scammer.

I placed an ad on Craigslist and received a text from this number asking me "can I have a brief detail of the furniture scanned to richfrost04@gmail.com and its cost."

I thought this was funny because the description, dimensions and pictures were right there on the CL ad.  When I texted him back mentioning that I do have scanning ability (I do), I never received a response.

Same thing. Put ad on CL for furniture set and got this text to my phone:

FRM:Ferdinand Richards
SUBJ:Furniture
MSG:Send me your mail contact to richfrost04@gmail.com if your still the furniture and its charges

The text came from 1 (410) 100-001

I also got a suspicious text from 314-828-0357, asking me to mail him info already posted in ad to richfrost04@gmail.com, also noting "strictly email only please." I thought is was rather suspicious since I am selling the item in PA and the phone is from Missouri and that someone would text me and ask me to respond only via email, especially since I included my email in the ad and so he could have emailed me instead. Of course when I questioned him in a response text about this, he never responded. I noticed on another Craigslist scam site a report of a buying scam with similar email address (richfrost07@gmail.com) in which the person was trying to get the sell to provide personal financial info to buy something several states away!

Called himself Richard Quinn/Frost. Wanted to send a USPS next day check for over the selling amount to include payment for his movers. Big scammer, told him cash only.

How odd he did that to me too. Like you I said cash only.

It's not odd, it's how this scam works. They send you a check for more than you're asking then tell you to give the extra to their "mover". Except their check will bounce & you'll not only be out the money you gave the "mover" but you'll also be liable for a bounced check.
