I was posting my blackberry for sale on CL and it asked me for my phone number to send a code to?  
When did this happen? This legit?

Did this when I posting some baby stuff last week. I gave it my number, 2 seconds later it sent me a code via txt, put the code in my ad and it got posted.

Stop being so paranoid.
