In case you guys ever list on Craigslist or other Marketplaces this is a scam that has been around for a while but is still actively being pulled. I also have this listed on my local Craigslist and literally within a few minutes of the listing hitting I got scammers hitting me up with this BS.
Them: Hey is amp still for sale?
Me: Yes
Them: I need to send you six digit code to verify if you are real, ok?
Me: I’m real. Call me.
Them: Six digit code, ok?
Me: Ok. (wondering what they will send)
… receives “Google Authenticator” code number via separate text.
Them: Enter code, ok?
Me: Goodbye.
Apparently they are trying to hijack your phone number and register it with a Google Voice account. Beware.
