I hate when you get those on crigslist. I am not asking for get ripped off quick schemes.

I never leave a link when I advertise on c-list, just a phone number. No scammers have ever called.

I think it was Dateline that did a segment on Internet Fraud, and how these scammers lure people into being their "assistants". One guy was spending his own savings shipping packages to his "Fiance'" overseas, who was this rich business lady. Oh, he had never even met her, but they were engaged! This guy had been corresponding with her via email and had a picture of this good looking, sexy lady who was supposedly on the other end. Mind you, this assistant was not exactly Don Juan, so he was convinced he had scored this supermodel type chick.

Ended up that the good looking chick was actually some black guy in England who was ripping people off and pretending to be that chick. The assistant lost most of his savings. We might think he was dumb, and he probably was, but these scammers are good. Oh, and the packages were actually being bought with other peoples stolen credit card numbers.
