Is your phone number on your craigslist profile?

Dont need much more than a name to get a number.

This happens to me every time I list my car.

Craigslist account or not, they manage to get my number. Usually a 703/704 area code. There's nothing more than an "email to seller" email listing which is the general craigslist email response.

There's no license plate, no real email listed, nothing. Yet they manage to call EVERY TIME asking if I want to have them "put their upscale clientele in my car for my asking price". The best part is I will only ask how they got my number and their ONLY response is if I'm interested. I literally had this guy going for 5 whole minutes asking this exact question over and over. I was even cursing, and he just kept asking.. "Are you the owner of the 350Z for sale on Craigslist"
