Pretty sure this is made up.

  1. How would the scammer know they were the ones who posted their number on Craigslist.
  2. Scammer's number is usually a spoof. Not the actual number.

    I once had a spam caller call with my own number spoofed. Awkward.

    At this point I have developed a spiel for them. I apologize and let them know that I have not called anyone, but that some spammer likes to spoof my number on the regular and that I get one of these calls every few weeks. If they are still angry or say something about me needing to change my number, i mention 2 factor authentication and that it would take me literally years to break free of this number and even then there would be issues, so it just isn't worth it yet.

    It can be if they've already tricked you into using their VPN, but I think you might have to he advanced stupid to fall for that AND the text
