Hey Guys I'm curious if there is a way to prevent scam artists from using the classifieds? Or some kind of deterrent?

Currently I'm averageing about 1 con a week for my boat from the ad on WF. It's more annoying than anything.

If not, is it possible to just have the ad yanked? Thanks.

I never had a scammer notify me from my listing on here.

I can tell some of the scammers are using an automated system and it's doing a redirect from WF based on the E-mail addy. Secondly the only ad I have anywhere's on the net that I'm aware of at this time is WF.

As far as working through it, kudos to you but I have an ad that's comeing up on a year old that hasn't done much for interest as of late and I'm tired of dealing with scam mail for my boat. I don't think I'm asking for the world to be changed, just asking a question.

Some choose to live with status quo, I choose to question everything.

I will attempt to amend the system this week, I know other sites have the same issues since I hear about it alot, and it is also hard to combat since it's not entirely automated, actual humans are doing alot of the emailing.

Thanks, Zach. I know some of it is just scammers in another country drinking coffee at their favorite place and trying to scam anyone and anything.
