Ask HN: Fighting spam on Craigslist any alternative?

2 points by obaid 17y ago

I posted my macbook for sale on Craigslist (http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/bra/sys/1290256034.html) and all i have been getting is scammers emailing me and asking me to ship it to Nigeria.. so wondering which sites do you guys use besides Craigslist for selling electronics? Thanks

Many sites suffer from this sort of spam. It's all a form of advance-fee fraud. I wonder if anyone has found an effective means to combat it -- logistical regression models, keyword filtering, etc.
