  I've put several items in the classified ads for sale on this website. Every so often i get an email saying they want to buy the item and request a price and a photo. Since both are in the ad. I figure this is some nefarious trick and never respond to the buyer. Anyone else seen this? This particular item had the price and 4-5 pictures in the ad!

"Hello,
My name is XXX, and i am interested in buying your 1952 NOS RADIO IN THE BOX,Please let me know the price and send me a current picture of it.

I need your response.

  Jerry, since my computer was recently hacked you are correct in advising people not to click on the response/link. I won't go into detail , but if it looks suspicious stay away from it. I have since cancelled a Facebok account and an Amazon account due to the hack. Almost all of these hacks come from overseas.

  Just received an e-mail in response to my ad on here. The name of the buyer is Mathers Rowley at a G-mail account. Wants to send me a cashiers check. Appears to be another scammer. Thought I would give people a heads up on this guy.

  A Daniel Lance advertised a 36 mirror clock on Facebook, balked and stopped communicating when I asked for a photo of him holding the mirror. Profile disappeared too.
