Scammer alert !!!!!

[SSDiv6]

There are two other scams:

1. You get an email message saying they want to purchase your item and they want to send you a verification code with a link via a text message. If you agree, receive the text message and click on the link, they get access to all the information on your cellular and emails.
   
2. If you are selling a vehicle, they claim they want to verify you are the owner and they send you a link via email or text message. When you click is for a site that charges $20.00 to $30.00 for an ownership verification. If you do so, they charge you the fee and nothing happens and the buyer disappears plus the money you pay for the verification.

A way to stop the scammers and it has work great for me is to put at the end of any ads in Craigslist or other sites the following warning:

"SCAMMERS - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ASKING FOR A VERIFICATION CODE TO TRY TO STEAL MY IDENTITY OR GO TO A LINK TO VERIFY OWNERSHIP- IF YOU TRY, I WILL FORWARD YOUR CELLULAR NUMBER TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISION FOR PROSECUTION!
