Cragislist is a great place to advertise your property. Our real estate company here in Big Canoe, GA has received plenty of good leads from Craigslist. You just have to avoid the sharks ;) Cindy – one other point. Cragislist is a great place to advertise your property.

Don't feel too bad, Akismet marks me as spam even if I post on my own blog! :) I'm glad our site helped you out. "Fay" has been pretty busy sending out emails lately haha. Best of luck selling your home in Columbus. Feel free to contact me if I can help out further.

We rec'd an email last night from "Fay Colson" - what was strange was I had provided a link to a page that has information/multiple pics of our property and this person was wanting MORE. Anyway, for some reason I was compelled to run my standard internet check I run on any stranger that contacts me . . . but am I happy I did! Thank you for helping this newbie avoid wasting time! May you have a blessed day! THANK YOU so much for posting this info -

I'm not sure if they're just harvesting contact info or if they're working on some type of advanced fee fraud scheme, or if they just like sending out useless random emails to people! I do know that the amount of spam email I receive seems to be increasing. A quick look at my junk email folder for the past few days shows maybe 20-30 emails from characters like Madam Charity Uwaoma, Mr. Song Lile, the UK National Lottery Organization, and my personal favorite - the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debt. :) Doonser – who knows for sure.

The thing that tipped me off is the near complete lack of intelligence of the email. "I'm interested in checking this place out. when are you available to show it? When is this place available to move in? i'm flexable and sold already my house. Please contact me back - thank you" Is it some criminal trying to come in and case the house during an open house, or just some wahoo with nothing better to do?
