Even got one of the Nigerian Scam artist trying to contact me off of Craigslist. Now I don't read any reply's to any of my post unless they can tell me specific details about what I'm offering. Lucky for us they do leave the users tag at the bottom of the reply, I maybe wrong but next time it happens copy paste the user name and report it to Craigslist. I do a good amount of business on Craigslist, why should we have to put up with idiots that waste our time? I say flag them and let their account get deleted, another thing I do is flag most any known scam that they generally try to post in the community section. I've recieved up to 5 junk replies from a single posting on Craigslist, that's why I don't do any more ads that say I'm looking for work. It seems that by doing this the moron gates open right up and everyone assumes that by work you want to get rich quick with their plan or link... get real, if I'm looking for work I expect to do just that WORK. This is some thing that has been getting to me for a while about Craigslist. I still use Craigslist and find a lot of solid leads thru their site even the job I'm doing now is thru them, but like I said I do get a lot of junk thru there as well. O.k. I'm done with my rant... it was kinda good to vent! Lol, now if made it thru my poor spelling then good on ya'. :) I do understand where Wendy is comming from and have had similar people trying to contact me with an affiliate link thru Craigslist.

I've never heard of them sending random messages in response to a Craigslist post. What garbage. I'm not surprised, though. In fact, I suspect the person who sent you the link is doing what "Easy Google Profit" tells them to do: sell the junk program they just bought by spamming as many people as possible.

The included a link to the same article, but from what looks like a local newspaper (that doesn't exist). Fortunately for me, I have you guys on my side and I jumped to the ivetriedthat website and found out exactly what I needed to know. Man, these scammers will stop at nothing to make a buck!

I guess you'd call him a advertiser or marketer? Any way my point is that "For the cheap price of $10 per blog" (lol, moron) he'd out source the work to India doing the same thing. The catch was, that to do it efficiently I'd be better off to do several at the same time. I could be wrong but I think the minimum was $100 per month, that was supposed to get me 10 blogs or articles as he put it per month. Nice catch guys, I wasn't going to pay that much for advertising any way but it's nice to have the back ground of what I was going to recieve. I pride myself on doing good work I don't want my name tied to people that do this kind of thing. Keep it guys I look forward to your blogs!

Seriously, get off of your moral high ground, take a look offline, and you'll notice that, gasp, advertisment offline has been doing the same, it just took the online folks a while to catch on.
