Re: Possible Scam
A lot of scamming done with gmail now. On craigslist I don't put any contact info, the buyer has to email through craigslist and I do all contact that way (even IF they give a number) until I feel comfortable that it's a real person (check wording, spelling, name/number on google, email address, ask where they're coming from.....). Then I give my contact number and I give my address the day before meeting (sometimes day of).
You have to be paranoid now, they don't always phish for money from everyone......they try to get information. They use that info on the next person to look more real and then to get money/identity.
