How can I find out who the person is sending me phony emails with a yahoo.com address?



There is a person who claims he lives in the UK emailing me and wanting to buy items that are in the Star Tribune. He doesn’t come through with the money. He did it once a month ago and never bought the item. Therefore the item didn’t sell because I was waiting for him money order. Now he’s doing it again. I think that he has a friend who is doing the same thing because he emailed me this morning wanting the same item that was listed a month ago. Email should not be used as a scam and I’m mad that these people are using it in that way.

Craig’s list offer – Scam or legit?



Hey guys, recently I’ve posted an item for sale on the popular selling site craigslist, and ive gotten many replies that seem to fit the pattern. I’ve posted one of the replies i got. Do you guys think these are legit? or is this another scam? (which i suspect it is).
