i just received an email from them 2 this is crazy. they need to  be stopped.

I responded to a craigslist post yesterday about tutoring for a 10th grade student in Long Island, NY, and I received an email from the same email address telling me to verify my info on the same website.  I didn't fill it out, but I hope they don't have too much info about me already.  Did you get frauded at all following this encounter?

I also responded to a post by sadiestaplesbh@gmail.com

the craigslist post was in the Urbana IL area, regarding dog siting, and asked me to verify my phone number. i replied to the post with a personal email, and my last initial, and didnt fill out the form. wish i hadnt replied in the first place.

Me too! But it was in the NYC area. But what are these people doing with your phone number?

Same joker posted same *need* in Nashville also--guess they were being HONEST on the one point of saying you'd get NO PAY out of the deal! :P *sigh*

I DID NOT OPEN the reply mail, which only just came TODAY {NINE DAYS after the original post supposedly NEEDING HELP}--if they NEEDDDDD HELP they will REPLY SOONER than NINE DAYS! That long a wait, and it's clear they've just waited for the replies to pile up so they can SPAM/SCAM you! :P

Also, in my experience, unfortunately I have yet to find ONE pet-care ad in CL that was NOT a scam. :(

I NEVER send ANY personal info in my reply to any such ad, I always simply ask a question about the ad. That way, when their reply says "Thanks for sending your resume........" or even ;) "You're PERFECT for the job, if you'll just ________" I KNOW they're bogus. ;)
