To: [email protected]“hi! thanks for the fast reply. btw you can call me Sophia… im totally interested to meet someone. but let me tell you this, im not interested in a relationship right now, Im definitely interested to meet you But I’ve had an awful experience meeting somebody online roughly 5months ago.. I met a wrong man. I am willing to give this a shot with you I’m in the mood for a wild sexy time just want to use my brain this time. Know what i mean?

I have nada to gain by asking you this except it will make me feel safe, if you were a woman who has been through what I have you’d know the feeling. If you have a webcam we are able to video chat too as they have that within, but actually I just want to ensure you pass the checks. To get to the verification page just Click http://datershookup.com/juicyshopia/ I do not believe you were anxious about that its just a little friendly guarantee that I’m not jail bait as they say lol.

Hey Admin, how do we cancel the account?
Hi,
My name is Sophia Di Marco but I am not the person in these personals. I live in Sydney, Australia and am a happily married mother of three. I do not have a craigslist listing, have never answered a Craigslist personal and am most definitely not the person on this site http://datershookup.com/sophia/
However, every time someone tries to contact this scammer, I end up receiving the emails! They are lewd, suggestive, frequently harassing and threatening and very frequently including graphic images. As you can imagine this is very upsetting to me and my family. I am on the verge of pursuing this legally and need as much information as possible, so could someone please please please send me a link to the Craigslist ad where you found the link to DatersHookUp? I am on a mission to a) get Craigslist to take the posting down and b) find out who these people are and make them stop using my name and contact details on the many websites they have.
Thank you.
Sophia
To the real Sophia –
Unfortunately, these scammers hit multiple Craigslist sites, often using different text content & reply e-mail addresses each time, which makes stopping them at the source (Craigslist) almost impossible. For example, a recent one was in the Farmington, New Mexico CL, with a reply address of [email protected] – the next one may be completely across the country.
It may be of little comfort, but it appears that these scammers do eventually change the name they use, as word gets out on sites like this one; in the meantime, setting up some stringent e-mail filters using a “whitelist” (only passing through emails from addresses you specifically permit) may help somewhat – whether or not to set up an auto-reply explanation to those that get blocked would be up to you.
Personally, I think that such scammers deserve to spend eternity dealing with the troubles they cause, with Habanero enemas thrice daily, to remind them of just what (& where) a pain they are.
