This morning at 4:30am I received a text from phone number 719-362-0357 inquiring about an RV I have for sale on RVTrader. It was asking about condition and who is the first owner.

I replied to the text, then I got the following 3 texts:

Definitely a scam. You'll get a fake Paypal email saying you've received money, then be asked to forward a portion of it to "the mover" via Western Union. Has the scammer provided an email address?
