I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I already got e-mailed today by the CIO Summit Phishers, and now I got the *classic* craigslist scam. Here is the e-mail they sent
from Daniel <brianb2323@gmail.com>

I love how "Daniel" sends an e-mail from "Brianb2323@gmail.com"
Anyway - here is what I wrote back.
Hi Daniel - or Brianb2323 or whatever your name is.
I'm
sure you still take a few people in with your scam now and then - but
is that really how you want to make your living? You don't need to live
this way. You can change. The love and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus
Christ can change you - it has changed me. I'm not sure what you've
ever heard about Jesus - but being a Christian is NOT just a long list
of 'dos' and 'donts' - in fact Jesus himself taught against the kind of
people who try to boil salvation down to a checklist. Being a Christian
is about having hope - knowing that no matter what happens - God is
there - He loves me - and he can give me hope. Now there is a lot more
to it than that, but that's a good start. We can talk more about it
later if you want.
Anyway
- please- you're hurting people. You're taking people who are desperate
for enough cash to pay their rent or medical bills, and you're crapping
on their lives. It's mean, and you should stop.
Feel free to e-mail me back any time.
