Wow what a bunch of scammers Have been responding to my add on craigslist. I didn't realize how many foreigners are interested in ford mustangs. I posted my phone number so I had a few legitimate calls and e-mails. One e-mail stated they were real interested but had dial up and could I please check a link for them on insurance. Not in this lifetime. It was a name I could not begin to pronounce. The price of trying to sell old cars And rusty junk. And now craiglist flagged ? me for posting a phone number.
 
I didn't know you'd get flagged for posting a phone number. That's the best and quickest way to make the deal. I do notice that some people spell out at least 2 or 3 of the phone digits though. I supposed to keep out the automatic spammers from collecting a phone number.

I just checked the add nothing flagged. The e-mail from craigslist came in as spam it looked legit but was asking for info so I deleted the message.
 
I hit the "hide" button so they can't contact me through Craig's List and add my phone number, never had a problem.
 
Dennis,
I'm currently enduring daily calls asking for Cheryl Johnson(different people/scumbags, but same line). No matter what the reply(I actually said she had passed once), they launch into selling pharmaceuticals. I think it started after I tried to sell my wife's conga drum via Craigslist. Luckily by not answering, the call frequency goes way down. They're just searching for someone breathing with a pulse.
But.......apparently I am owed millions by an oil tycoon in Nigeria. There's hope yet!
Good luck. Bruce
 
"I hit the "hide" button so they can't contact me through Craig's List and add my phone number, never had a problem"
I do the same thing now. I had posted a coupe of different ad's, I got a mail's with the same question on both asking if I was for real. I did not reply to ether. After that I removed my email and just left my phone number. So far that has worked.
 
Same here, i also use the hide button and i put my phone # in the ad. Never any problems and i live on craigslist. Every vehicle i own and drive came from c'list, 9 so far, including my A, '55 Chevy, jet boat, sailboat, '60 Rambler....never a rip-off or spam...knock on wood.
 
I had a couple of guys come over to take a look at my mustang. They were using a GPS to find my place and got lost. kind of funny they seemed OK a little hard to understand with heavy accents from some Baltic country complete with gold chains around there necks They claimed to buy and ship to europe. I told them cash is the only thing that works in Kelsey. They said they would get back to me ?
