i don't know exactly what listings it's most pervasive in, but apparantly there's that nigera scam going around craigslist. a friend of mine mentioned it, she's having problems with it right now.

here's the link to the article she gave:

If anyone asks you to deal with them on CL directly through Paypal, be weary! Always verify any emails sent from Paypal are authentic and not phishing emails. If in doubt, forward a phishy email to Paypal and you will get a response in less than 20 min.

I deal alot on CL and scammers are out there. Protect yourself and forward all suspicious emails to Paypal support.
2 RES hatchlings, affectionately named "Thunder" and "Lightning". Purchased in Chinatown for $6, their habitat over $500, the satisfaction that I felt when it was all set up and my turts enjoying their new home = priceless!
