I added this to the "Don't" list for buyers since I'm seeing instances of it 2-3 times a week now on other forums or Facebook:
DON'T respond expressing interest to someone else's add with your own cell phone number or email address. Scammers will text or email you pretending to be the seller, get a payment, and disappear.
Always use the web site's private PM/messaging system to contact the seller.
