If you receive a pm from someone who is not the seller of the item you showed interest in. Often they are trying to take the conversation to text messages, please include that number in your report. At minimum this goes against the rule of butting in on ads.

Just received one from 7472352674

Looks like I have an old thread with my number. I just locked it and asked for it to be deleted.
Same phone number as a couple other people in the last day or so have reported. I removed your information from that old ad.

Can you explain what that are trying to do?
Bob has an ad for tent. You replied to his ad with interest. You receive a text message or pm about the item but you didn’t reach out to Bob with your cell number or the pm received wasn’t from Bob. The message usually has poor grammar and wants to continue communicating through a channel away from the forum so they can continue the scam after being banned (we get several reports on a member after we banned them) or they aren’t a member and simply found your number that you posted in the forum (anyone can view the site).

(720) 599-1229.
I believe this number is trying to scam me. I started a conversation saying I would take an item then got a text from this number wanting payment only i hadn't given my number or had contact through rokslide.

You had your number in a couple ads from years ago, I removed it.
