Top middle of MO. land of green hills and grass | I sell some stuff on CL, but have set up a completely different e-mail to work from. Had a spooky deal a while back, that pushed me a little further though. Had a generator listed for sale, had the nearest notable town listed. This guy and I had e-mailed, and were planning to meet during the week. There's a phone call that comes to the house (i'd never given him the house number) and he's asking if we live at _______ address. Wife doesn't know what to do, but takes his name/number and I call him back. When you sign up for an e-mail account, you can put in your name. From the e-mails he knew my name, and my rough location, did a phone search, found the address and house phone.
Just to limit exposure, I've removed all my personal info from that e-mail account, so it just shows the address, not my name, and I use a town a little further off to advertise. that way I can screen folks further before i share any more info about who/where I'm at. Using a different e-mail also lets you collect all the spam somewhere else rather than my main account. |
i need your opinion here for selling something on craigslist
