I posted some ads yesterday on the local craigslist and magically within 5 min. on one ad and 1/2 hr. on the other I started getting texts and emails through craigslist.

So what to do.? Text the scammers using the email scammer address for contact info and then send an email to the scammer using the other scammers phone number as a point of contact.. I've been doing this for a couple of years.. Pretty soon I'll have all the scammers trying to scam one another.
What I can't get over is how they don't catch on to my name...Bal Oney! 🤭

Last May, I listed our 2005 Yukon with 230K miles on local Craigslist. Within 5 minutes, I got several texts asking for me to text a 6-digit number from their message to some phone number or site, I knew there was something quite fishy there. I did get about 20 real responses though, talked to several on the phone, and the net day one guy sent his wife with cash to buy the Yukon.

She didn't want to even drive it, the husband felt from talking to me that he should trust The Cuss. I suggested to that wife to let me drive it a couple of miles so she could see everything worked, including the AC, and she did. Sale done, easy.
