"Red"
Graphic Designer
I received an email today (shown below) which threw up some red flags for me.
Be careful about exposing your real email address on Craigslist. This last round of ads I used my real email address instead of the Craigslist anonymous email address (xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx@serv.craigslist.org), which, I'm sure is why I received the email below.
* I altered the link so that it would not function here.
- Obviously NOT from Craigslist
- Should definitely be your Craigslist account email address
- Authentic looking link to Craigslist until you look at the "hidden" URL [in this case it was [http:\\craigs-list-org.net46.net\ - fake login screen]*
- Convincing link to Craigslist help (don't know if it's a valid email or not).
