when you post your email address on the net for a for sale add this is what I do

make the add and at the end type this.....remove the NOSPAM from email adderss and then type your email like [email protected] (but you actuall address) and when the click on your address it won't work for them.

I use to get theese all the time and I would reply back like this
GO FV(k YOUR$ELF YOU MU#^ERFV(K3R
and they would reply Thank you for your reply I will purchase the item you selling and I will give you 5K more than you are asking but send the remaining back with my boyfriend who will be picking up the item you are selling to me and bla bla bla I am a scammer and want to scam you Blah blah

If it's a member on here, send me their user name and info (PM please) and I'll look into it and deal with them accordingly. It does sound like the usual scam running the boards lately though. I'd be weary if I were you!

He will scam no more! Or at least not under that user name. Let me know if you're contacted again and I'll compare IP addresses.

This goes for anyone here.....If there's trouble in the Classifieds, just send me a PM with regards to the issue and I'll address it promptly.
