The following are emails I received from a scammer trying to purchase tickets I had posted on craigslist.org. I have omitted all of my responses (except for the last one) for privacy purposes.

NOTE: I responded to each of the emails, but thankfully never gave my actual address or any other identifying information. My last response can be seen below:

"If you cannot mail your payment to a secure post office box, then we cannot and will not make a deal. Additionally, I have reported your email to Craigslist as spam. This email conversation will also be posted on scambook.com. Do NOT contact this email address ever again. Thank you."
