Luckily I had enough brains ti use a throwaway text number and throwaway e-mail address This scam is running heavily in Houston on Craigslist using different companies such as Propel, AT&T and Nokia just to name a few. A new one today appeared for Monster Energy drinks, which I HAVE seen vehicles advertising Monster, but when I ran the phone number it popped up as a scam as well | |||||
