Over the last couple of weeks, I'd posted a Man Seeking Woman profile on Craigslist. I'd had enough of "friends" who were really needy I-need-a-shoulder-to-cry-on women latching on to me while they were in some drama/crisis or another, only to vanish after the crisis was over.
So I thought I'd take more initiative and try to be more choosy.
Anyway, it looks like tricking emotionally vulnerable men (i.e., guys posting personals on Craigslist) into signing up for pay sites or credit card phishing sites is big money.
The girl with the gorgeous boobs you see above is "Taylor Burch" and she (probably a "he"?) wrote to me twice with canned responses from emshandleysk044@yahoo.com and essasingletonyd318@yahoo.com.
Here is one such exchange:
Taylor e-mail #1

The website link goes to http://www.craigslistsafe.net/profiles/tay5, which isn't a craigslist site at all, of course. There aren't any useful or fine print links that are useful. Even the "report as spam" link redirects back to the profile.
Still... Nice pic. (^_^)
E-mail addresses from which I have received replies from "Taylor" include: emshandleysk044@yahoo.com, essasingletonyd318@yahoo.com, karimccoy172@yahoo.com

ReplyDelete@Anonymous Oct 12 -- Don't feel bad, dude. These people have been at it for a very long time and have worked out an effective response.
ReplyDeleteAt least you weren't taken in like probably dozens of others -- if it didn't make them money somehow, they wouldn't be responding all over Craigslist every day.
i got almost the same email from a "steph levy" ditecting me to sign up for a "secureflirt", which links to craigslistsafe.net.
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this, what a scam.
Excellent article, Would love to know more about it.
