Craigslist spam

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I am yet another victim of Craigslist spam. Someone just posted my cellphone number with a free laptop on Craigslist.

The phone rings every 20 seconds.

Text messages are constant.

Wow, now I know how to conduct a cell phone denial of service campaign.

I started answering some of the calls. Turns out to be nastier than I thought. So far, Chicago, New York and Phoenix have free laptops listed with my name and phone number.

I found the Phoenix post.

I reported it. It looks like it has been flagged for removal. The phone stopped ringing at 62 phone calls, 22 text messages. Basically annoying at midnight. But it would stop business during the day.
