Your Craigslist Account Has Been Temporarily Disabled-Phishing!
Summary of eRumor:
This is a forwarded email to an undisclosed list warning that your online account with the popular website Craigslist has been disabled. The email says that unless the reader clicks an attached link in the email to reactivate it, they will lose the account forever.
The Truth:
This is a Phishing attempt. The Craigslist web site sent no such warning. Shoppers do not need to register to visit the popular classified ad site. The site also states in their “About Scams” page that they are not involved with any type of “seller certification.”
Phishing is an attempt on the part of scammers to trick you into going to their website to get your personal information.
