Hi Guys,
Heads up. This morning I got what appear to be scam replies to all my iW classified ads at the same time. This person has been reported as a scammer on other sites as well. Anyone else see this?

i usually find that the fake replies outnumber the real ones.
usually, i can tell which are fake, and i ignore them.
but that one got me - i responded...
i had a feeling it wasn't real.., but it wasn't strong enough to cause me to ignore it |

I got all excited that this guy wanted to buy all my stuff and then it hit me that this was probably too good to be true so I did a search on the e-mail address which was reported elsewhere.
Just wanted to warn others out there. If you only had 1 ad with this reply then it would be hard to tell it was fake.

Craigslist is by far the worst for A\H people.
After awhile you can smell them. All manner of crap.
Treat all potential inquires , as a possible actual sell, otherwise you may lose them, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. _________________ K4 fins
