Every time I run a new ad, I get a text within a couple of hours asking me to send something to an email address. The text is obviously computer-generated and always has the exact ad title, exact asking price, a question as to whether the item is still for sale and then some sort of request to send something to email. The purpose is to harvest email addresses for spam emails. One amusing texting exchange:
them: please send pictures to email blah, blah, blah
me: can I just text them to you?
them: I can't receive texts. I'm on a ship at sea.
me: but you're texting me now
them: (silence)
A few times, I've gotten exactly the same message from 3 different phone numbers.
