Default Re: Possible Scam

recently i called an ad on CL. phone was answered, "you have reached google voice, please hold while we notify your contact". well, nothing happened. no ring, no voicemail, so i hung up. i had never heard of google voice, so i googled it up. google listing says it came out in 2011, and it will make your life wonderful, bla, bla. so, i added the word scam to the search. now, it brings up all the scams, mainly for hiding the numbers you call, like cheating on your wife. so then, i add CL to the search, now saying "google voice craigslist scams". this time, most info is about scammers trying to get the google voice code from a seller, so they can use the account/phone # to do other scams. now in my case, i was the buyer, never spoke to anyone, but surely they have my number in they're call log now. this was a month ago, have not seen any results yet, but who knows what these crooks are up to these days.
