I came to learn two tips to use Craigslist and avoid scammers:
1) Always hide you email: don't even anonomize it, just hide. Quite frankly there's no reason why if someone is really interested in your item he/she shouldn't just call you
2) Only put your phone number in the ad, and trick it out so it won't be recognized by machines: for example instead of zero use capital "O", instead of 1 use capital "I". Or simply spell out one of the digit...
This way you can weed out all the porkers Kenyans...
Btw, some email providers (like Google) have a thing call "Show Original" that shows you the code behind the email. In this code sometimes you can find the IP address of the computer/ISP that sent the email. There's several services online that let's you track the IP and can tell you where it was... Most of them are some Internet Coffee in Kenya... :AR15firin
