Texts About a Car I'm Not Selling

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Yesterday I had a voicemail from someone saying they found my Craigslist ad selling a car. The thing is, I'm not selling any type of car. It was only once, so I thought maybe he just dialed the wrong number or something. Then I woke up today with texts from 3 people, all different area codes, asking about a different car (the same one in all 3 texts). I'm not sure what's going on. Is someone using my number or trying to get information out of me? I haven't responded to anyone and don't plan to.
