Don't bother clicking on the Hyperlink - I'll explain here in a moment.
A person responded to my CL ad with this:
"Hi,

I was wondering if you would take a trade of my item: http://craigslist.org/sys/1919290661.html . I'd trade you that plus some cash. Let me know what you think please.

Thanks"

I figured what the hell let's see what he has. I'm greeted with a CL login page. What the heck is this? Well now consider you have to login to CL to post anything - waaaiiiit a minute that's only to post. So knowing that's just not even remotely close to normal I then looked at the REAL URL (mouse over the above link). So I graciously entered my email address of [email protected] with a password of yourmomsawhore. After pressing enter I was sent to an expired CL ad in Chicago. Wow - once again wierd.

So I found out who his webhost is and sent them an abuse email notice. Within 10 minutes of my report I received this email:
"Hello,

The web site(s) reported has been closed.

LOL- now to add insult to injury I email the scammer (his email was real) and said this:

"
Your webhost sure works fast to shut down scamming morons websites. Glad I could be of service.

Enjoy!"

SCORE ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!!!! Yeeesssssss!!!!!

 
Best post of the day! :)

I just hope your PC wasn't infected by that site... many of those types of sites contain malware that steals data from your system. All it takes is for you to miss ONE patch for software... OS, browser, Acrobat, Shockwave, etc... for you to be screwed.
 
Thanks guys. I normally don;t get too jazzed about crap like this but normally webhosts don;t reply let alone shut sites down within 10 minutes of the report either. FWIW I'm a Sysadmin by trade and I also host sites and run my own Exchange server out of my house as well. I'm certainly no stranger to all the BS that can happen. Nothing irritates me more than trying to be an honest upstanding American simply trying to sell a personal posession only to have some jack ass that lives (in this case Germany) trying to scam you.

Gozer this bastard isn't worth wasting a piece of bubble gum on. But I will give him an Americanized sieg heil

Somebody say something about rep? It would be wrong to abuse the system on a 3 year old thread. ;)
