Just contacted someone on Craigslist in the Casual Encounters section. His ad said he was looking for someone right away, however, after contacting him he said "Not looking for right now, but possibly this weekend. Give me your phone number so I can text you to set something up." I'm using a pseudonym email account and was not about to give away my personal cell number (especially since my job pays for it) and told him to just keep contact to the email. He replied saying "No, I have now way to tell how safe you are, so give me the number so I can call you to set something up, or pass."
To me, this sounds like someone just trying to get cell numbers for some type of scam. I don't see how getting someone's phone number proves whether they're "safe" or not. I mean, this guy wanted to fuck me supposedly. Assuming he doesn't fear me raping him, that leaves potential serial killer, in which case, having my phone number isn't going to help. Point being, he was very adamant about getting that number and not at all curious about me otherwise (no questions about what I look like, wanted to do, etc). It was all just give me the number and I'll get back to you, otherwise no deal.
Do you all think this was a scam of some sort or do you think he's just be overcautious? I mean, he is posting "Want to Fuck" ads on Craigslist, so how cautious a person is he in general?
Thanks for all your thoughts and comments.
