I friend of mine is trying to sell his Mini Cooper on Craigslist and was complaining about all the scammers who where texting him offers for his car and he didn't trust using that for selling anything. I told him I had bought and sold many times on Craigslist and didn't have problems because I didn't text and insisted on talking to the people. I didn't spend 31+ years handling fraud claims without learning how to judge people by the sound of their voice and their actions. Texting is like computer forums in that you can't judge the person making the post and it leads to fraud and misunderstandings.
