Okay since I am posting, I havent been killed...lol.
I posted an ad on craigslist about 2 weeks ago for an Ovation guitar case. This is not the first time I have posted something to sell so I had no qualms about doing this. I didnt put any personal info in the post including I didnt list a phone number. I also did the thing where they hide your email and use that craigslist auto emailer. I have no clue how anyone could find out who I am through that ad ... but they did. I got one email where someone responded to the ad saying something odd about case like...ovation case? Is it blue padded? I responded back saying yes it was the blue padded case. I heard nothing else until I got all these very weird emails from people using my whole Name..first and Last, saying stuff about either they wanted to get back at their spouses by cheating with me, or that I sounded like a sexy woman in my ad, or that we used to chat online together and it was time to renew our life online...or other stuff. All of these included links to their websites with photo's, phone numbers, and other assorted info. I didnt click. I showed all this stuff to Tony and I am not sure he believes me that I have not been talking somewhere I shouldnt be even though I showed him the ad I placed on craigslist.
I want to know how they got my name off craigslist. I wouldnt wonder so much if they werent referencing the craigslist ad and it wasnt coming in under that ad. it is definitely coming from there...it has THAT heading. It comes in RE: Ovation guitar just like it does from craigslist.
If I have to close out that email address it is really going to be a pain. That is the main address that everything goes to. Maybe I should just see what name is listed on it...I dont know. Anyone get email from me at my fibro email? Does it come with my fullname?
