Please be a little more careful on the expletives.

my bad vicodin and really pissed dont mix

I bet your getting a bunch of Nigerians emailing you to.

you could say that

I got a response to a Craiglist scamming phisher not more than 5 minutes after publishing an ad. They have bots scanning the listings constantly feeding them info on new ads. Unfortunately I cannot repeat the various expletives he received in my response. They were various and many referring to my unbridled opinion of the nature of his/her character. :bat:

I had one say she was from a town in Illinois. I looked it up and sure enough, there was that certain town. She said her kid was going off to college and needed the computer. So after a few days, she sends payment. I get an email saying payment was recieved from Paypal. But there were 4 characters in the address bar that threw the red flag, and they were .row, along with they needed a tracking number in order for me to get the money. I sent an email asking them how stupid they thought I was. Paypal doesn't do escrow, and the shipping address was to, of all places, Nigeria.

Yep. Can't fall victim to that crap. I don't know how those :edit:ers seem to keep getting away with it...

I stay away from CL, I've heard nothing but problems from transactions there.:pca1:

Always meet face to face or get them on the phone. That's what I do.
