try contacting craiglist first, if you havent contacted the "seller" already, do so. If there is an eager response to pay for it with paypal or the likes, its def, a scam and repot it.

:just kidding, i just called ther number, i said, "im callin about the ad in craigslist", he said"mustangs sold-click"

It becomes very difficult to prove anything with online transactions for things not delivered etc.

Ya the guy that answered the phone sounded about as old as me (im 23) and there was a screaming kid in the background, and a womans voice as well. He literally said two words after saying hello, "mustangs sold" then he hung up.

If it was sold, why wouldn't he take the ad down?? sounds weird.. I have made many transactions on craigslist and have never seen a scam that had a phone number, this one is confusing, or maybe hes just bad at it.

I think I know that car. That looks like my friend Anthonys car.... he doesn't live in Tx. I'll send him this link and see if it's a scam.
