Just got a weird response from a classified ad, it's definitely spam. Email has nothing to do with the ad and has a link for me to "join":
A visitor to TheSamba.com has replied to your ad for:
ALH TDI intake manifold with EGR valve Price: $95
at: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1841807
and sent the following message:

Hi
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly believe that this web site needs a lot more attention. I'll probably be returning to read through more, thanks for the information!

Yes, this happens sometimes, I will ban them.
I wouldn't click on the link, it's probably spam to their site or could be something worse like an attempted hack of your device, etc.
There were using a url shortener link above to try to bypass real spammer web sites I might have blocked.
I blocked that URL shortener being used too _________________ How to Post Photos
