Craigslist

What in the world is with all of the spam??? I have had 50 replies to some things I'm selling, ALL SPAM...WTF? Should I just post my cell number?

same thing over here man. never had any spam when i left a #, but ALOT of people who obviously cant read as well.

NEVER post your cell number. Punk kids will take it and post up stupid stuff for free with it. Your phone will be ringing off the hook with people wanting your free underwear or something. Thats what happens with the craigslist down here. It's mainly used for the entertainment of others..

Yeah, CL gets frustrating. Lots of people respond w/out any intent to buy. "Can I see a picture?", "Will you sell it for a ball of lint?", etc, etc.

That sucks...A year ago, I was selling garbage...Now I can't sell a Psp...

Not No........But, Hell No! Man I posted my cell # on CL a long time ago just trying to sell a 55 Tank Only and got soooooooooooooo many calls from people asking stuff like what fish can I put in there and I was thinking about buying that tank but I have never kept fish before is it fun? I thought I was going to lose my mind before I finally changed my cell #. Not sure what your selling on there but I would advise against putting ANY of your #'s on there.

Not to mention prank calls. I learned my lesson the hard way .

At least you have humans that actually are inquiring about what you are selling..

Thanks for you reply,i am located in Remsenburg city
in NY,i really need to buy this and send to my
son schooling outside the state as a gift .I have
been trying to buy this on ebay but its so very stressful
buying on ebay.I will offer you $230 so as to close the
auction as soon as possible.I will be paying through PAYPAL
because i have a verified account with paypal.So kindly get back with
your paypal email address so i can make payment into your paypal
account.Once payment clears,shipment will be handled by me through my
personal fedex account,so you dont have to pay for
shipment.Get back to me if my approval is granted.I would like to see
the pictures please.
Thanks

I removed all of the viral links....This is one of the two most popular scams.
