I've just received an email from a gmail account that I don't use that often. Most are members of a club buy I do use it for advertising aquarium items exclusively. The note is from a Roger in Fresno, a yahoo account, telling me to not use his account and he's told Craigslist. (I have no issues with sales or members that have this gmail).

Could this be an attempt to bot my account and/or verify it's use??? Any ideas? I've never seen anything quite like this before.
I've responded to "Roger" nicely and have used an account that I don't care about. I can detonate it if it turns out to be a fraud.

by-passed the email and responsed with a dead end email: red page from Craigslist so it's been shut down as dangerous, as suspected. I just hadn't seen anything quite like this. "They" are getting more treacherous all the time.
