Another craigslist scammer

[69bronzeT5]

So anyways, I'm looking to buy a cheap electric guitar so I can give it a sweet paintjob. I posted a wanted ad in the craigslist here and I recieved this email today:


"Hello Seller
Am interested in your item place on advert,i will want you to send me some more pics for closer look,my mode of payment is via money order and i will like to know if accepted before we proceed.
Thanks"

Notice the sections I bolded in this post......


Like what the hell, I post a WANTED ad and I get this scammer wanting to scam me out of money for something I dont even have. Stupid scammers

Cody, if you look around on the CL main page you will see a place to send emails like this.

I think it is

www.abuse@craiglist.org     But you should check and make sure as I don't have the best memory.  Just don't ever answer to crap like that. Doing so will give them your email address. You don't want that.

Ok, thanks for the link! I reported it to msn hotmail. Theres a button in my inbox called "Report Scam" so I clicked it and reported it. Then I sent it to the trash.

you should have also sent it to CL as they will keep that address from ever using CL again.

Look under scam or abuse on the opening page. Probably to the left.

You should have some fun with them.

Google "419 baiters" and you'll see some hillarious shit...
