Thanks!

I received this message in response to a Craigslist posting from StevenCarson13@Gmail.com:

I received the exact same email from this Steve about an add on craigslist.  Steve W. Carson [Steve.W.Carson58645@gmail.com]

It was the same as the above tho listings.  I didn't reply- are they legit or a scam?  Sounds like a scam to me.

This guys a crook.  I replied to his e-mail inquiry and it was blocked.
Stay away from ass$^%#@ like this guy.  He just wants your $$ or worse your personal info.

I just got the same type of e-mail, reference an ad I placed on Craigslist in Tampa, Florida. I don't trust those type of solicitations to begin with, so I decided to Google the number for the heck of it. Was surpised to find this site. I have not, and will not respond! A copy of the e-mail is below.

Funny, I totally thought this sounded to good to be true, I just put my ad up for my car yesterday and come in to work today to get this message from this guy Steve.W.Carson (Stevey.W.Carson3951@gmail.com) Like everyone else I thought, hey maybe I should just google the number and see what comes up, sounds like a dealership or something.  Im glad I found this post to save myself the time and hassle.  Here is the message

In the past 3 days I've received calls / messages from some gal that claims that she can sell my car ASAP, getting top dollar, too.  Its the same sales pitch as the rest of you have received.  
I just want the calls to stop.  I answered my cell and it was a message and not a live person...

the e-mail came from Phil.Greenly95@hotmail.com

I thought something was weird when his phone number is posted in the email as an image.

I got an email too... but I do have a call tracer, so lets see if he calls me, I can reveal his personal details ... people like this want to be caught.

me too!  Charlotte, NC - here's the email from our good friend Phil Greenly <Phil.Greenly96@hotmail.com>:

I am looking for cars, SUV's or trucks from '97 - '08. Need to be 'fair' condition or better and ready for immediate purchaser.

Thanks
