Scams, Spams, etc

[Spoonsize]

E-mail in response to ads, coming from "babadahun102@yahoo.com" are most assuredly scams...I'm not sure how he replied to my ad as I see one has to be registered in order to reply. Here is part of of the e-mail:
"I am a procurement concerned agent,i am specialized in the purchase of ASTRONOMIC PRODUCTS on behalf of my prospective and respective customers as it is upon their request around the globe,however,"

He also included a link back to the ad.
Thanks and Beware...

That's good news....I'm wondering if it might or might not be worthwhile to have a thread where we simply post the names of suspects that you can check out, and that the rest of us can be aware of?

The bottom line is you just have to be careful with who you deal with and normally if you have a doubt, there is no doubt...

Often times these scammers use broken english or words that just don't seem to make sense.
