Scam Description

This scammer has messaged me numerous times using different names to purchase items I have for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Scammer sends phone number asking me to text/call so they can provide a code to verify I’m real all for their safety. When confronted about this being a scam the scammer leaves group conversation. I’ve blocked and reported to Facebook however all day today I’ve received numerous messages alike from diff scammers posing as potential buyers. Can Facebook do something to stop this from happening to people? Even when blocked the scammer will click on a different item or post and message again.
