I received a suspicious email about my classified ad. The email wanted to know price, condition and pictures in broken english even though they are clearly listed in the ad. I've responded to the email, but I would like to know if andrecalifo@yahoo.com is a registered user here. Email me if possible!

Thanks!

No it is not. We do not allow Yahoo email addresses here at DTR because of security reasons.

Do NOT ship anything until you have the cash in your hand. The scams often seem to include something about sending you more than the asking price so you can pay the shipper for them.
Then you find out later on that the money order they sent in the first place is bogus and you are out the product, plus the money you give to the shipping agent.

Well, in that case I'll string him along enough to get his information and turn him over to FBI Fraud & yahoo. Perhaps there could be a section of code added to the site to filter yahoo email responses to the classifieds?

Thanks!

We grandfathered some of you guys in that have yahoo addresses, but we are not taking any new ones.

I had a yahoo address also and had to find some goofy one to register. Now it is a hassle to check. But i guess that is how it will be.
