    Default Getting Phished

    I got this "offer" from my craigslist ad for my bike.

    Also found here: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/119337-...X-Street-Glide

    I reported it to GMail Phishing dept, but am wondering what else I can do to this jackass.
    Any ideas? (No, I don't believe it was from Les Fletcher of Plano Tx).

    Hi,
    You should consider it sold .I want to buy it for someone ,and
    the payment would be through PayPal . I am working in a ship at
    moment, i am out to the sea,So it is a pick up agent that would be
    coming for the picking up. i would like you to forward your Paypal
    email add. and name with more pictures .

    I would be expecting your prompt reply,with the name and the
    email address on your PayPal account so that i could make the payment
    asap and i will appreciate if you could send more pics as i would
    not be seeing it in person and the picking up would be at a
    designated place or your residence.And, Lastly , i am offering
    additional $ 100 to your final price for you to keep it off from other
    offers.

    Just ignore it and consider using an alternate email address for Craigslist if you're not doing that already. There's really nothing you can do to combat it.
    The "k" is silent.

    I don't think that is phishing.

    I won't do CL deals unless it's face to face and with cash.

    I use a CL / arms list specific e-m addy.

    When i receive e-m's like that i reply.

    While i appreciate your interest, my ad specifically asked for a picture and include in the subject line, My Wife is Ready.
    Failing to do so puts your e-m in to the trash folder. We appreciate you not contacting us anymore. Were your wife still interested in getting together, we are always open for new talent.

    Somali pirates doing the CL

    FTF with cash is the only way to roll on CL.

    Tell him that you will hold it for him but that you don't believe he is a real rider. Tell him he has to send you pictures of him in his full gear with a sign in front of him with some type of offensive message. Use your imagination and make him do some stupid shit.
