Have you posted your number anywhere on the site or any in public?

If he has your real name, it doesn't take much to get the phone numbers for that name.
Creepy to use it without asking. IMO it would justify extra scrutiny of the person, including asking how he got your number.

He Didnt have my real name, but I think I figured out how he connected the dots. Sending info to you now Chris.
What are you planning to report, that he texted you? You are already suspicious, if you can't do the deal face to face, walk away because doing deals remotely requires a good deal of trust and a basis to form that trust. I will only deal on known sites, CGN and Alberta Outdoors, with extensive trader ratings. Craig's list, Kijiji, Facebook, deals are face to face only cause you have no idea who is on the other end. Also, not wise to show up with 4 grand in your pocket without a buddy and some backup options for protection.
My Trader history might not show it but I have done LOTS of deals on here, none of them face to face. Never had an issue until now, I'm familiar with buying and selling online. As I said previously I think with Chris's help above this issue is handled.
I saw a trader rating of 2. I can only go by what I can see and what you tell us, which wasn't much. Had no idea you were an online 9th Dan, Ninja level trader. So, in that case, carry on camping and my apologies for trying to be of help.
