good move on ur part by googling the phone# from the get go.in shopping for properties on clist i've had numerous pranksters who text on and on about their property and even set up appointment to show it, only to text that they are busy can't answer the call but to make sure i'm at the right address because they dont see anyone outside.they go on to ask what type of car you're driving and to describe the property and condition, but never answer the phone which is pretty much a hallmark of a CList prank although it could be worst and there was one gal who finally answered and just wanted to talk on and on and avoid the fact that i was at the right address and she was pranking me.i can imagine there are escorts looking to use properties transiently for their transactions though. but who knows. i share in your sentiment and wonder regarding who in the world has so much time on their hands to send people on wild goose chases. obviously they get off on it and/or it may be that they are practicing to commit crime on individuals they lure out the addresses (whether it is their address they are offering, or an address they are interested in meeting at to inspect).but yea, googling the number helps alot good luck and stay safe
