Well, I guess this system has gotten really successful since we seem to have attracted a scammer. Below is an actual email that I received. Another user has also gotten an identical message. I have banned the scammer's userid, which I believe will prevent them from rejoining under a new username from the same computer.
Should you get a similar email or any other suspicious emails as a response from WaccoBB posting, please notify me immediately! Anytime someone offers to buy something, sight unseen, especially with a money order, cashiers check or escrow service, something is wrong:eek:! For more information, see this Scams and Fraud page on Craigslist (https://www.craigslist.com/about/scams.html).
Meanwhile, I have been encouraged to hear the great legitimate responses people have been getting to their posts! Keep using the system and spreading the word, including feeling free to reply publicly when you think your response will be of interest to other members.
