Sometimes change is hard. But sometimes it’s pretty awesome! Kudos to
the guys at Craigslist working hard to weed out all the spam. They have
made a change to their system that makes life substantially harder on
the spammers.
Craigslist now creates an email conduit for all email conversations.
When you talk with someone via Craigslist, you will find that you’re
using an account name made up of random letters and numbers, provided by
Craigslist. Now, the downside is you can no longer see the email
address of the person you’re talking to. However, the BIG upside is that
the person (or spammer) you’re talking to can’t see your email address
either.
What does this mean? It means spammers are no longer able to harvest
your email address to spam you endlessly. That means spammers now need
you to reply to a different email address than the conduit provided by
Craigslist so they can get your email address. And that means it’s
easier than ever to identify about 40% of the spam out there — both the
spam that arrives in your email inbox and the spam that gets posted on
Craigslist. Anytime you see a “woman” asking you to reply to an email
other than by hitting “reply” to their post, or even if “she” mentions
an alternate email address for you to contact, well, my friend, you have
just identified spam. Be sure to report it to Craigslist as often as
you can.

How do you distinguish the spam from the real women on Craigslist?
This is another question I get all the time. Answering this one is
vital to any man’s success on Craigslist. There is a LOT of spam on
Craigslist. Every fake ad and every fake email exists to talk you into
spending $40 or more on a monthly subscription to a dating/sex/porno
site instead of finding what you’re really there for.
Why? Because your average spammer, using nothing but a server and a few thousand IP addresses can make over a million dollars a year spamming Craigslist. The question is this: do you want to help a spammer get rich, or do you want to meet a woman? If you want to meet a real woman, read on.
To most guys using Craigslist for the first time, the spam looks no different from the real thing. Guys who don’t know what to look for can spend entire nights doing nothing but responding to spam. But there is a secret to avoiding all of the spam!
THE SECRET THAT SPAMMERS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Every fake ad on Craigslist and every fake email response was generated weeks before you read them. The act of posting spam ads and sending out spam emails is completely automated. The spammers have clever tricks to make you think you’re talking to a real girl, but there is no technology created yet that will trick you if you knows most of the spammers’ tricks.
I devoted an entire chapter to recognizing and avoiding spam in my book, and if you keep in mind everything I coach you through, you will avoid 95-98% of the spam on Craigslist.
In case you’re here looking for a couple of quick tips, here are two that will allow you to recognize and eliminate nearly half of the spam coming your way:
These are just two of my 20 Rules of Spam, found in Secrets of the Craigslist Conqueror. Each rule is simple and easy to remember. Follow them, and while other guys waste the night replying to “girls” who just want to sell them expensive subscriptions to dating/sex/porn sites, you’ll be able to devote all of your attention to finding the real women, wrapping them in their fantasies and living those fantasies!

- When you’re responding to women’s posts, don’t bother responding to anything that is more than 35-40 minutes old. There are many of reasons for that, and they’re all in the book.
- When a woman responds to one of your posts, if she sends you a link to ANY site, she is spam. I have probably met more women than any other man on Craigslist, and NEVER ONCE did a real woman send me the link to a site other than Facebook. And on those occasions when she DID send me to Facebook, it wasn’t until we had sent several emails back and forth.
