NEW Dirty Trick Phishing Scam on Craigslist...
I usually have something for sale on Craigslist everyday and getting flagged once in a while is just business as usual.
Well today I received a email that one of my listings got flagged, but this one was unusual because it had a link to "Remove flag from listing".
I was thinking WOW, thats pretty clever...these scammers will get a lot of users to click on that! LOL
(EVERYTHING looks very legitimate in the actual email)
