I've been asked a couple of times why should we bother to report their e-mail addresses for abuse.
Why, well, because, it makes scamming others more difficult when their e-mail address is axed because of fraud. And most e-mail hosting services are pretty good about deleting e-mails being used for fraud. (even the free ones)
You have to realize, it's not just Craigslist that these scammers use. They can literally post their scams to hundreds of free classified all over the planted. If they have taken the time and trouble to post their scams to these classifieds, then suddenly, their e-mail is deleted, they can't use it anymore. All those postings are useless. All that time, wasted. They have to start all over again:)
We can't do much to stop the scammers, but, we can make it much more difficult for them to scam others. Plus, there's just the added pleasure of being a pain in their proverbial tushies!!!

ReplyDeletescammer saying he is in Cameroon I got this email from him want to let you guys know these people piss me off Had my hopes up.
Thanks for the mail
I have them in pairs so how do you want to have them, one or both of them.
Please am very serious about it and no joke so if you really want them or one of them it will cost you just $150.00 for her shipping to your location but you will have to give me your full address so that i can make arrangement for any of them depending on your wish, since am located in New Ville Cameroon . And they are for free.
So i will need your full address in this other so as to enable me to make the transaction easy for both of us, and this payment shall be done with the airport which i have been using to ship my bird to different part of the world for 8 years, like America, Europe and Canada. So this is the format in which i will want you to give me your address.
Full address........................?
State.....................................?
Full names..........................?
Phone #...............................?
House phone........................?
Street address.....................?
House number.......................?
Send me this information so that i can book for the next possible available flight for her.And the Airport will notify you when the bird is ready in the airport. thanks and hope to read from you soon okay have a nice day.
And i will also want to know why you want this cute bird of mine cus my greatest desire is that you take good care of her. So you will need to answer this few question.
-Are you a Christian?
-For what reason do you wish to have the lulu?
-Have you ever had one before?
-Promise me you are not just joking about it, and that you will take good care of her.?
