Just fell for the scam from this guy? unfortunately sent my details before twigging - Have sent subsequent mail saying reporting the incident to the fraud board.
Does anyone know of bad repercussions from this idiot?
Received this message this morning from a DFW craigslist ad :
Hello,
I will like to know if this item still up for sale and what is the condition?kindly get back to me with your personal email address only and phone number.

Don't respond to anything that would jeopardize your Craig's List account being banned. This is a typical scam. I know, when someone says they will send you a check, it's usually stolen. Be weary of these and other formats. I'm getting 4-5 responses on my ad per day, asking for phone numbers and it saying:
"I'm mesmerized about you and your ad. I'd like to speak more and was wondering if you could call/text me with your address? Please get my cell phone # on my confidential page, you have to signup first but no stress there's no charge. This way I am preserving my personal information, I have cash right next to me. I just need to ask you something over the phone and validate this is not a scam. Thank you!

DON'T REPLY TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. It's definitely a scammer trying to get personal information for theft.
Here's a few more like the one above:
"I was instead wondering if you would like to become friends. I just transferred to a new job here and feeling lonesome, would love to hook up for some fun time. I am avilable anytime after 12 pm. I'm not a weirdo or a scammer so do not worry! If you are interested you can see more of me on my profile where I have all of my rated r pix and most importantly my cell # is there too. Just log in and text me 'cause I love texting! Let's do this asap, I will be waiting!

"Read this if you are real and move through my direction. My photos and cell phone # are published on my personal profile so if you seriously like what you see then go grab my # and text/call me right now. This is the ONLY way to prevent pyschos and to make certain you're a non dangerous man specfically since I want to host at my place. I am not a phony so stop doubting me. If you think I am not real then don't reply. Im a creative girl in bedroom so would like to tell you over the phone what Im interested in in you rather than wasting my time and writing here. I just hope youre real too! xoxo

Too many more like these above and I will be sending them off to Craig's List and to the FBI's Internet Crime Division. It's no wonder why I chose this career path, to track down scammers like these and knock them out.
Same thing for me... Craig's List reply to a post came from David Ray wanting oersonal e-mail address and phone number. I did not reply - seems like a scam, as all these others posts would also attest to.
