Another scam via Craigslist. This came in to my email, with a return address saying it was a “craigslist reply 640e). Two minutes earlier I’d gotten an identical one, only referencing a different item.
Both emails referenced a supposed earlier email.
Thanks Alicia,”
It’s not unusual for scammers to text you, with the direction to email them back because “they’re at work and can’t get texts” or they’ve “borrowed someone’s phone” or they’re “texting for someone who’s too busy” to do it themselves.
It’s all horsepuckey. Don’t respond. Just forward the emails to craigslist as a scam, and delete all texts and emails without further comment.
NOTE: Now that we’ve downsized at our main location, our new entrance is at the back of the building (use the rear entrance in back of 189 Main Street, off the Park Street side). You’ll see some signs in the windows saying “Heritage Collectibles”, “Retail Shop” and “Welcome”!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us for the past three years!

In memory of my beloved husband John K Snyder… 20 Sept 1956 – 21 Oct 2016.
He loved our shops, especially the section we called Heritage Books, Maps & Ephemera – that was his baby.
He loved me like crazy, and oh how I loved him.
Follow our blog at https://warrior-project.org, in honor of my husband, and all others who have been lost to internal demons that in the end, overwhelmed them.
All of the profits after expenses from Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps will go to help fund The (Grief) Warrior Project, a suicide prevention drop-in and counseling center in the process of being developed.
[Please Note: The (Grief) Warrior Project is in no way intended to be reflective of, or piggy back off, Wounded Warriors which serves those military personnel wounded after September 11, 20o1. Like too many others, John was a warrior long before then.]

RE: Your Craigslist warning post above:
Today on 10/21/17 I just received a similar Craigslist internal email responding to my For Sale post from someone asking me to reply to “msczca at gmail dot com.” I Googled this email address and it brought me to your post. Friendly reminder: I reported the message as a scam but it appears that Craigslist has limited, if any, power to screen such pests. So…keep on treading lightly and carefully on CL!
P.S. I’m including the CL link to the beautiful Gerry von Trier oil painting I’m selling in the website field here, as it might fit your audience or inventory…Feel free to share…thanks!
