With all the safety pin and scammer jokes going on, I think OBRA land has a
bit of spring fever! I feel that it's gonna be a good year.

I simply blocked all of OBRA, except for Inigo Montoya. That took care of
the spam. :^)

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Scammers

Hey folks-

We're starting to hear about some scammers popping up on OBRA Chat.
Fortunately no one has been taken for a ride since most people have
very good instincts.

>From Craigslist:

Avoiding Scams

You can avoid would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:

DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON--follow this one rule
and avoid 99% of scam attempts.

NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or other wire service -
anyone who asks you to do so is likely a scammer.

FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON--BANKS WILL HOLD YOU
RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.

CRAIGSLIST IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle
payments, provide escrow, "buyer protection" or "seller
certification."

NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social
security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.).

AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A
SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.

With all the safety pin and scammer jokes going on, I think OBRA land has a bit of spring fever! I feel that it's gonna be a good year.

I simply blocked all of OBRA, except for Inigo Montoya. That took care of the spam. :^)

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Scammers

Hey folks-

We're starting to hear about some scammers popping up on OBRA Chat.
Fortunately no one has been taken for a ride since most people have
very good instincts.

From Craigslist:

Avoiding Scams

You can avoid would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:

DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON--follow this one rule
and avoid 99% of scam attempts.

NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or other wire service -
anyone who asks you to do so is likely a scammer.

FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON--BANKS WILL HOLD YOU
RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.

CRAIGSLIST IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle
payments, provide escrow, "buyer protection" or "seller
certification."

NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social
security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.).

AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A
SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
