Weird new Craigslist Scam
So today I tossed an old Printer I want to sell on to Craigs List. Within 5 minutes of posting the message I started getting text messages from someone who told me he sent a "Verify Code in your Phone". I told him I didn't get it and he went on about CR scams, told me if I didn't give him the code then he wouldn't buy the printer, blah blah.
Anyway I used the Googlemachine and learned its a scam but I still don't know how it works. What does giving some code received as a text message to a thief actually do?
