Is this a scammer?
 
I received a request to buy some items from 2 of my different posts in Other Herp Related Supplies. The person used the same phone number (256-600-2959) for 2 different member names (One1 and lounder101). This person also used 2 different names and is located in 2 different places. When I call the number I cannot reach anyone. When I text the number the person is very vague about my questions...

How were you initially contacted? PM, email, did you put your mobile # in the ad...???

I was contacted through the Fauna Private Message Center and given a number to text from the person who was interested in my items.

Is there a way for Fauna administrators to check into this individual and delete his account if he is a scammer? I would never have suspected this "duck" if I was not contacted twice.

Forward the PM to any moderator and explain what happened.

I took care of this yesterday. Sorry, got other things on my mind at the moment.

Thanks to those of you who made suggestions and who took care of this.

I received a PM from a user bestowedlord, with the same number. Was this person a scammer? The user name has zero posts, and joined today 6/15/22. When I searched the number this thread popped up.

Thanks
