Anybody have scammers contact them regarding samba classifieds?

[rlutterb]

I got an email from a non-Samba member asking questions about an item that where clearly included in my ad.......vehicle color and year. Anybody else have folks contacting them like this? I know craigslist is riddled with scammers, was surprised to see it from a Samba classified.

Why "scammer"? Anyone in the world can see your ads and click on "email this advertiser".

I could be wrong, but if you look at my current classified add, it's hard to miss that it's a big ass green 1972 bus, and the content of the email was 'I'm highly interested in your car. What color and year is it'.
I'm just asking if folks are seeing any scammers responding to samba classifieds in the same manner that we see craigslist scammers.

Moved to Site Forum...

Yes, I believe that was a scammer and have banned that email address from contacting sellers.

You will get an automated email from the site since you were contacted.

Yes, scammers use the site A LOT.
99% of them get blocked because I have tons of filters in place but sometimes they get through.

If you ever have any doubt about someone who inquires, email me directly.
