When any site becomes popular its certainly going to attract its fair share of scammers. Whilst most people associate such problems with sites like ebay – which deal in transactions – they don’t expect to be scammed on listing sites like Craiglist.
How to avoid scams on Craigslist? I use a free email address from Trustme.com, which ensure that each time I receive an email from a Craiglist member it is scanned and compared to their database of known scams.
This takes a lot of hassle out of using Craiglist for me. It saves me having to even open any unwanted emails, so I can easily avoid Craigslist scammers.
For a company with over 10 years online marketing experience you would think they’d have a website up and running by now. Anybody ever dealt with this company?
Hi,
I am Robert, Business Development Manager
I was surfing through your website and realized that despite having a good design;
it was not ranking well on the search engines for most of the keywords pertaining
to your domain.
I was wondering if you would be interested in getting the SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) done for your website.
There is a simple equation that is applicable to the online world.
Ethical SEO -> Better Traffic -> Higher Sales.
We are a CMMI Level 3, Microsoft Gold Certified partner firm with over 10 years
of working experience on online marketing projects, with a large and satisfied
customer base . All the techniques used are ethical, latest and proprietary.
In case you require any additional information, it shall be our pleasure to furnish
the same.
I look forward to your mail.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Angrita
Business Development Manager

PS: “Buying a website without search engine optimization is like spending your
entire budget on a commercial without buying any air time to show it to the world”
Having recently been in the receiving end of a lot of spam in the comments from online moneylenders I thought it would be an idea to publish these in one place, so as people know to AVOID THESE. The scam centers around the promise of a loan in return for a release fee. No matter how desperate you are and in need of money do not get caught into this. Any money you part with will get ZERO in return.
These will be posted in the comments section below. Feel free to add your own. I’m sure we’re not the only website which receives tons of this rubbish. Hopefully, if somebody is tempted by one of these scams they will Google the moneylender and find the answer they’re looking for here.
I often get these ridiculous emails from so called SEO experts, promising me they can drive tone more traffic to the site. They’re so good as what they do they can’t even afford a website and work off a gmail account.
An examples:
We are Internet Marketing experts who can help you answer these questions, drive mass traffic to your site, and dramatically increase sales ~ harold.ellis021@gmail.com
Not sure if its a scam as such, but rest assured you don’t want to be doing business with an SEO expert who hasn’t got his own website.
The ammount of spam I get from Fanbox is incredible, at least 2-3 a day. Some examples:
HeatherA wants to share YouTube videos
AnimeGurl is sending you a Hug on FanBox!
cutegirl wants to kiss you on FanBox
I am giving you a blessing
I sent you a Prayer
By all accounts Fanbox is a phishing scam, so steer well clear of their links. If you want to opt out of their spammy emails follow these instructions.
Hi there!
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist,
Nor can it be hidden where it truly does.
I think that we can only love or not. But in this world is a person which
is intended only for you. That is why I am here. I am looking for you, my
desiny http://affectionate-girls.com/7811/
I am a hopeless romantic who is a country gal at heart. I like travelling,
riding horseback, camping and anything outdoors – picnics, rollerblading.
I like to cook food, I do it perfectly and with pleasure! I’m also very
tender, loving, passionate, down to earth, intelligent, versatile, determined,
ambitious, goal and family oriented. I am an honest person who is easy to get
to know and easy to get along with. My friends would say I am a classy, good
looking gal who is a true friend, and who is a lot of fun to be with. I am
said to have a great personality, and I have a positive attitude. I am looking
for someone who has the same interests, enjoys the outdoors and the country
way of life. He must enjoy entertaining friends and family, hosting dinner
parties, the movies, or cuddling by a fire over a glass of wine. I am looking
for someone to stay young with rather grow old with.
