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.

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

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”

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.

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.

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.

With due respect I humbly write to solicit for your partnership and assistance in the transfer and investment of my inheritance fund USD$17M from my late father who died mysteriously last Dec.

It was very evident that he was poisoned to death. In my culture, when a man dies, if he does not have a male child, the brothers shares his property leaving both the wife and the daughters empty handed including the house they live in. This is the exact case with me as I am the only daughter of my father. I lost my mother when I was barely a year old and my father refused to re-marry another wife because he felt solely responsible for my mother’s death.

This is so because he concentrated much on his businesses that he rarely pays attention to domestic affairs. He was always travelling taking care of his businesses that he did not notice when my mother took ill. He thought it was a minor illness and was ignorant of this. My mother on her own resorted to self-medication. It was not until the illness degenerated that my father took my mother to hospital where she was diagnosed to find out that hypatitis had eaten deep into her blood stream. She didn’t last long before she died. This happened when I was barely a year old. Based on this, my father could not forgive himself easily because of it and said he was responsible for her death as he could have saved her if only he had paid attention to the things at home rather than concentrating much on his businesses.

Despite all entreaties by friends and relatives, he refused to remarry but ensured that I had everything that I wanted. It was as a result of this that he made me the next of kin to his fund deposit with the bank and stated that in the event of any unforseen, I should have direct access to the fund only when I am 24 years of age otherwise, I should have a guardian/partner intercede on my behalf for the release of the funds to me. Unfortunately, he died late last year and I am 21 years of age currently. This is why I have contacted you to serve as a guardian to me and as my foreign partner for the transfer and investment of the fund overseas My uncles does not know about the fund because they had already taken my father’s houses and other properties because I am a girl and they said I do not have rights for any property. They have requested to have my father’s bank papers but I simply told them that I do not know where he kept them. The younger brother took the house in the village while the houses in the town were sold out, they shared the proceed they got from the sale. Right now, I am with a friend of mine and do sincerely want to travel out of my country. This can only happen when I have secured the release and transfer of the funds in the bank.

This is why it is important that we have a plan on the type of lucrative business that we can invest the funds on.

I have at various times had discussions with the director of international remittance unit of the bank where my father deposited the funds and I was assured that once, I have someone who would be willing to receive the funds on my behalf, they shall commence all proceedings to effect the release and transfer of the funds into the person’s designated account. Now, that you have signified your interest to partner with me, it would only be very necessary if you contact the bank and request for the release and transfer of my inheritance fund into your nominated account for the purpose of investment and to further have me come over to your country to continue with my studies.

I shall be giving you the bank’s contact details as soon as I hear from you so that you can contact the bank directly.

Your urgent response will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ayesha Nadim

Mrs Susan fernando.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr SAZON FERNANDO
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in the year 2005.We were married for eleven years without a child. He
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his
death we were both born again Christians.Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 18Million
Dollars (eighteen Million United State Dollars) with one finance/security
company in Amsterderm-Netherlands. Presently
This money is still with the
Security Company. Recently
my Doctor told me that I would not last for
the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most
is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this
Fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that
will use this funds to fund churches
orphanages and widows propagating the
word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible
made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this
decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s
hard
earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where
this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking
this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS
14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I
don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health
and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I
don’t want them to know about this development. With God all things are
possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
the Finance/Security Company in Amsterderm-Netherlands. I will also issue
you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary
of this Funds. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the
lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy
Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit
and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in
your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian
individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. I have set
aside 20% for you and for your time
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Yours in Christ
Mrs. susan fernando
