I've got an advantage... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: how do you get all these? I want my own cheques :( n/m, Trev, Fri, 27 Jun 2003 12:19:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The TSN classifieds are very well known in Nigeria ;-) and around the world, so wherever you have a well known group of sellers, you'll find at least a few scam artists. There are relatively few, but whenever they do appear, the smart Saab owners who are using the classifieds report it to me. I look up the scammers IP address in the log and restrict it from being able to submit mail via the TSN server to classifieds users so they can no longer attempt to trap anyone.
Now, since I coded the TSN classifieds email system (and BB email for that matter) such that it does not reveal your email address until you decide to respond, the scammer has no idea really who he is sending the solicitation. When I get a report from someone, I make a follow-up reply and the whole process begins. They really can't tell that it wasn't me that they solicited in the first place, although if they did even the smallest amount of poking around, they would probably realize that I own and run this site. That's how lazy they really are.
