<br />
I will try to keep this list as up to date as possible but if you could please help me in reporting these scams we can all work together to bring them down. Also if you happen to find any ads you feel are suspicious add them to the comments and we can keep a running total.<br />

Most of these sites will have some sort of moderator or reporting link. The more people who flag each scam the higher the chance it will be removed!<br />

Free classified sites are a mecca for blatant scams. Here is a perfect example:</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7YCm8wT4nvcR9aXyBOK_0KD7ECwu0tqOZO5Ru6OEx_oz6EtsjhLrkQQkbAhGC18sg8HsLgVxVGWohrEa35YMtiL-hfdd4Vv81Fa_yQvR1kRIXelRRbNvMi3H5UjjUzChG7L0i_SlOZKs/s1600/ex3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7YCm8wT4nvcR9aXyBOK_0KD7ECwu0tqOZO5Ru6OEx_oz6EtsjhLrkQQkbAhGC18sg8HsLgVxVGWohrEa35YMtiL-hfdd4Vv81Fa_yQvR1kRIXelRRbNvMi3H5UjjUzChG7L0i_SlOZKs/s640/ex3.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">Oh awesome!!! A new siberian kitten for... what is that 200$?!? Lets take a look at the description</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdaH20K3ClHjL-YfQUu4v-YdfylQdl0nnLt8o9IKxbrNW3UqZV1sOV8fOBfz9DmFlctTswq1JT9YhTwFG__6ieF9_KzuS8ByOjp_0GOLb_IgqQoKEjUih0P5tJKzbA6lCbb5Y4wgnpsn2d/s1600/ex2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdaH20K3ClHjL-YfQUu4v-YdfylQdl0nnLt8o9IKxbrNW3UqZV1sOV8fOBfz9DmFlctTswq1JT9YhTwFG__6ieF9_KzuS8ByOjp_0GOLb_IgqQoKEjUih0P5tJKzbA6lCbb5Y4wgnpsn2d/s640/ex2.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">While this ad may be painfully obvious that it is a scam the problem is that with the addition of a website (see previous posts) and/or a telephone number it adds credibility to the scam. Scammers have been using free classified sites to list these ads allowing them to reap more profits but it also decreases their credibility.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here are a collection of free classified websites that are known to have siberian scam ads CURRENTLY on them:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">usmarketdb.com</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">vflyer.com</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">backpage.com</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">classifiedads.com</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">creativeloafing.com</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> ...to name a FEW</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Thank you everyone for helping to spread the word on these scammers! Hopefully the more people know the less of a chance someone wastes their hard earned money.</span><br />

Luckily my wife found out about the Siberian cat breed and we adopted Dante shortly after we were married. Nero was adopted a little less than a year later and he just celebrated his first birthday on March 30th. Needless to say they have their own pretty awesome and unique personalities that make them special parts of our little family.Dantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01676975121115709628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954861139962303326.post-51307324467462647162011-04-10T18:54:00.000-05:002011-04-10T19:15:51.791-05:00Purpose: A great way to start...So what could make a normal person so upset to go out on the internets and make a blog? My personal answer...getting ripped off, scammed, f'ed over or screwed. This is the overarching purpose of this blog, finding some way to help others from feeling the same way I do. Now how will I go about fulfilling this purpose? By posting my experience with these scammers as well as fostering a discussion in order to prevent others from falling into the same traps. If only one person finds this silly blog and it keeps them from being ripped off, this blog's purpose has been fulfilled. And with that the adventure begins...Dantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01676975121115709628noreply@blogger.com0
