Anyone else just get a PM about a Craigslist scam? - Grateful11 - 06-03-2008

The user just registered this afternoon and is asking how I knew something was a scam.
I have no idea what they're talking about.

Update: I think I figured out that it may have had something to do with this reply I made sometime ago.

I just find it odd that this person just registered with MacResource today.

Once I saw where the money and Laptop were going, common sense kicked in and said stay away.

It looks like about 12 or 15 users received that message.

Could be someone doing a Google search - maybe for "Susan"

I've done searches and popped up in some odd forums here and there.

The PM is a bit odd but the user may be forum literate enough to see that posting to a
thread that is a couple weeks old was not the way to get a response since this in not a
bump to the top style of forum.



If you google the email addy in the thread it gets 1 response and it is that thread

Maybe Susan got his money ?
