   I received the same thing and clicked on the link, unfortunately, before I thought about it. A video website came up but nothing happened because it said I need to download their program (which I didn’t). Is there a virus linked and does it only effect you if the video runs? I’m worried that either I have a virus or they can obtain personal information. Does anyone know??

   I got the same email from christasmja@aol.com. The tip off for me was I am selling a futon mattress…why would you need a video for a mattress. Silly scammers.

    I got the same message. At first I thought it was legit since I was selling a DVD workout series, but then I got another one for a headboard I’m selling -saying the exact thing. I clicked on the link (from the first email), but didn’t download software to make it run. I did, however, include my home and cell phone numbers in the reply. I hope that doesn’t mean they have information that could be harmful. Got mine from charmainenei9@aol.com and lue29000W@aim.com

    I believe this is a cell phone Phishing Scam. If you down load the FLV player
    it repeatedly ask for your cell phone number. Then you will find a $9.95 charge
    on your next cell phone bill.

    I have gotten several of these scam replies from all of my Craiglist postings. It’s unfortunate that Craigslist.org will not recognize this problem and take action. It won’t take long before the public stops using Craigslist because this problem has become rampant.
