How about we leave the classifieds open for everyone to see, BUT to get a seller's email address, you have to be registered on this website and login. That way, we can track what username is sending all this crap. Its just like Ebay makes you login before you send a seller a question

NO e-mails should be left in plain text on any page. if you even leave a link like <a href="mailto: ***@***.com " > SPAM crawlers pick all that up and you get on everyones SPAM mailing list.

this kind of scam is just the beginning & is the main reason that EBay changed their policy in 1998? to no longer accept email addresses as Login IDs.

The most hilarious part of that letter is this:

My father was a very wealthy cocoa marchant in Abidjan, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates

...which is followed by this

He also explained to us that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.

Apparently, these folks can speak from the grave. He was killed by his business associates, but he explained AFTER THE FACT that he was killed because of his wealth.

These people are a real clASS act.

Sorry guys. I got that e-mail last year. I guess I was the first to reply to them. Such a tragic event that happened to a nice family. I do feel kinda bad. As soon as I took delivery of my cut of $1.575M, I had them deported back to Abidjan.
