so I listed my snowblower on CL yesterday and got a scam e-mail already and its a new format I havnt seen yet. _Hi I am Lisa,_ If you still want to sell the product, send me an email or PM me. Thanks,Lisa. I knew it was a scam from the start but figured why not lets play. I replied: _**The snowblower is still for sale. reply back with the following statement to prove your not an automated scaming e-mail system:**_ “I am interested in your Bolens snowblower, located in Amsterdam NY” thanks Mike An hr later I got this: _Hi...good to hear back from you._ Please check the below video and confirm that it’s the same u have. [http://video-fav.net/playvideo.php?video=98kjgahnYYNPji0](http://video-fav.net/playvideo.php?video=98kjgahnYYNPji0) I don’t want to make another mistake as before. If its the same one I will be there today to buy it! Thanks , Highlighted in red are whats retarded about it. -You, spelled YOU in the first line, but the second you spelled you, U -A video link for a forsale ad! ROFL one of you retards click this and tell me what it does! -isnt even proper english -you forgot your name so I replied back this: _**You sound like a cutie pie… after I sell you my snowblower, would you like to go out for dinner, come back to my place and allow me to watch you and my wife have a little fun together? If so, please check this video below and confirm that your into what I am offering.**_ [Http://2girls1cup.com](Http://2girls1cup.com) I dont want to offend you when you come over and my wife shits in a cup for you.

Ive gotten a few bullshit emails that seemed legit at first but turned out to be scams on CL. Worse to me though is when somebody calls and says theyll come over to look at it at a certain time and never shows up or calls again. ---

a good way to prevent spam (well not prevent 100% but keep it down to a minimum) is to select the anonymous for your email (so it does not give the link to email you) and then just type you email in the ad somewhere like this: abcdefg (at) [hijk.com](http://hijk.com). Sure some of you knew that already, but for those that didn’t, I’ve been doing it and I get at most 1 or 2 spam emails when I list something. ---
