My first entry.

My first entry comes from a friend of mine who had a Craigslist listing in the Ogden-Clearfield personals under Strictly Platonic. His ad has expired but he still receives responses from people. Today he forwarded me a copy of a message he received from someone responding to his ad that is no longer listed since it's expiration in June.

The response from his expired ad was from:
   Name: Celeste Sherrod
   Email: celestesherrod214w@aol.com

Additional Information: "Celeste" indicated she didn't have pictures enclosed
because she has some pictures at a site with the URL http://merky.de/2a1257 which
is a shortened URL and you are actually taken to:

http://localfling.net/profile1038803.php?id=1038803.

This is your typical scam where a person responds to your ad to get you to visit
a dating site in hopes you will join the site and the person probably receives a bonus for every person she can get to sign up for the site.

Please note: this information may be inaccurate. Sometimes a person will use a name and email address of a legitimate person that they found through email harvesting to respond to these ads since it isn't their own personal email address that gets blacklisted if someone marks the email as spam on a site and the email address is blacklisted and goes straight to the spam folder.
