LOL All they are doing if phishing for live email addresses and phone numbers. My number is already published and my email is all over the internet since we are a business, so I just respond to whatever ads I wish.
Flag that SOB!
They are getting smarter and more clever, you can find the phishing fake adds in just about every section of craigslist now, even like heavy equipment and gardening!!
Sometimes they look borderline, like it might be a divorce sale or something I will write on them just in case...more then once we have scored big! Like a 2014 Kawasaki Brute Force 750i with camoplast snow tracks for $3500......my stepson kept the tracks and sold just the ATV for $5500....free tracks and some profit just for having the cash and a trailer.
One of my favorite trucks of all time was my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer Premier V8 AWD with 120K, dude sold it to me with "no oil pressure" for $800. Turned out he pinched the oil pressure wire when he replaced the water pump. We all thought the ad was fake after all 3 of us went after the same truck and weeks went past. Nope, the guy drove a moving truck and only had one night off a week, so he called me said can you come down here and I went and scored it for $800!!! That was like 3 weeks after I wrote him!
You never know...but FLAG the obvious fakes it helps the craigslist communityLast edited on Sat Nov 24th, 2018 10:44 am by 410customs
