Respected sir/madam,
I recently placed a missing dog ad on Craigslist. Since then, I have received at least 25 unsolitited, unwelcome and unwanted emails from people claiming to want to help and include this link:
http://digg.com/u1PZZ0
My guess is that they have an automated system that trolls CL for emails & sends this crap out.
Ive tried to get them to stop, to no avail. However, in the process of trying to find out who to contact (not that I expected any results), I have learned that this company is one huge SCAM!!! Beware!
This is the chat I just concluded w/their representative:
K.F.:
interesting ~ would like to discuss further
