Ever get this CL scam?

Just got a text message from an out-of-area area code, that I have not seen before.

I don't get it? What is it trying to accomplish?

Of course it is! I do not respond to anything without a subject and name.

Also note the URL goes to "craislist", not "craigslist"...

Ive seen similar....looks like a variation of the old wells fargo tells you your account is stolen please confirm password here. Basic phishing.

I went to the link, it off curiosity, and it wants me to log into my account - login name, password. Yeah, right.

Oh, I knew it was a scam of some sort.

I didn't even notice the missing "g". I caught all the extra stuff in the address, first.

What puzzles me, is that I don't have any current ads running, right now.

Yeah, 'iseoz.com' is a big hint there. And 'the 3 message,' probably Nigerian or similar phishers. They probably just spammed every phone number hoping to hit someone that uses CL.

Bingo... (any of those linked sites is a redirect, malware)

And they're counting on that.

Back when Myspace was a thing I used to get the "log into www.rnyspace.com."

Look closely at that.
