Spammers try to get around CL's spam blocker requirements for 1 phone number per account by contacting random people and hoping they'll enter the code so their phone number can be "verified" for a spammers account, in order to post more spam.

Their verification code is used at times when posting an ad. Verification by CL is never required when responding to an ad. Sellers have nothing to do with CL verification. http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/phone_authentication Hope you get it worked out!
