> [@Chefguy](#): > > Here’s the deal: you NEVER allow an email response on Craigslist. Phone only. Spammers cruise CL and respond to every ad with an email contact. The response goes through the CL server. YOUR response back, however, goes directly to the spammer and includes your return email address. Get the picture? Now the bastard has your email to sell to people who sell those penis extenders. > > I only post my phone number and have never gotten a crackpot caller.
