Craigslist Scam

[pacodemountainside]

I have been getting this e-mail every day for over a week with a different name each day.

However, it goes to my inbox, not spam folder which baffles me.

Obviously, none of the addresses are in my book and I have had not had any ads on craigslist this year!

Although I have Norton have not clicked on as no use taking a chance!

Any thoughts?

Hello,

I've been so overwhelmed with work lately, that my boss has given me the okay to hire a few people online to help me finish this project. The work isn't difficult, it's just that there is too much of it for one person to do alone, so I thought I would email you and see if you would might be interested? We can discuss the pay and hours. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, then just click for more details.

Thanks for your time

I get it every day too...I think they are harvesting info. for solicitors, or they may charge to a set-up fee to start a home business.

Please edit the OP's post and remove the email addresses. We have no idea if those are some other people's valid addresses that some web bot could harvest from this site. Thank you!

And a reminder to all: it is considered bad form to publish other people's email addresses on a public forum without their permission.

I get that same email, although it does go to my spam. I have posted on Craigslist this year, which is why I thought I got it.

Craigslist is the best place to discuss this, they have help forums and a scams advice page.
