For a moment, I thought he was actually SERIOUS. ...Oh, wait, he was? Oh.

Yeah, Craiglist is scammer central as far as I'm concerned, if you want to hook fake cheque scammers, there is no better site to place an advert on, than Craiglist, I remember about a year or so ago, I placed an advert for a computer, within 48 hours, I had 52 replies , all from lads wanting to buy it with fake cheques, yes, scams are rare as hens teeth on Craiglist Rolling Eyes

For the record I can provide a list of 273 scammers who target nothing but advertisers on Craigs List.
Collectively they send out approximately 5,000 emails every day to those advertisers.

I liked his name. Very suitable.

But I did check, and it wasn't an April 1st story.

I wonder if the food they eat on Mr Buckmaster's home planet is similar to ours.
