I got a message from +601117000313 in Carousell, which reads:

"salam dear.... am interested in buying this item from you right now please text me on Whatsapp for faster conversation so i can know more about this item +601117000313. thank you"

From the wordings, it sounds like a Nigerian scam type of scam wording, so I did not respond, didn't want to expose my phone number.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for your thoughts.

The first post was using the username "djshabsy".

A few hours later, the exact same message came from a different username "olamidebaddoo2020".

Scary ...

It's a scam, because Carousell has quickly suspended both the accounts.
