Hoping for info on a car

Earlier in fall I went to look at a 68 Formula S an hour from me. Price was $17,999 on Craigslist and text- for $21,999 I decided to pass. Say for sale= this place in Cadillac MI had the same picts and text for $21,995. I emailed the guys and he didn't know anything about them- no contact with them= not a consignment. Apparently they are just phishing for potential buyers- or chance to pocket $$$$
That's exactly what I asked the guy at classic cars dotcom and maybe that was why they weren't getting a response. I think that may have been the motivation for him to give me the number, because the car wasn't actually consigned with them. I see that place on MANY listings out there on the www, and I believe it is a phishing scam...
