I received 2 messages "responding" to a WTB thread I started with almost identical messages (from different user and contact names) directing me to text the same phone number.

I believe these to be a scam/phishing attempt. Maybe I am wrong but I am never going to send my number via text to something like this from today and from 2 weeks ago:

Make sure to report the posts so @revhtree can kick those users.
 
I got the same private message contact several months ago in response to a 'want to buy' post I made. I texted Rita and got all kinds of mis information about corals and anemones. Her "husband died" and she was trying to clear out his livestock. Prices changed from minute to minute and got lower each time I said I'd have to think about it. Glad I passed as it really didn't sound legit.
 
Please report all message sent to you like this and we will handle it. Thanks.
