craigs list spam

plumber_carl

I'm currently getting approx 40 emails a day from craigslist, a sight which I am not familiar with. I have been trying to block the emails on my yahoo account, the email seems to contain several possible addresses, as the emails contain nothing but garbage!! which I cant make out at all. I have just tried blockig an obvious email address with out success.
Can anyone throw any light on this and give me any ideas as to what this is and how can I stop it, appreicate any help as basic as possible please.

It's almost certainly NOT from Craigslist but from a botnet spoofing the address.

Craigslist users have been learning how to put up with the junk for years.

Don't open it, certainly don't click on any links or reply to it. Just delete and add the address(es) to your spam list.

If the emails are coming from different addresses then the only answer may well be for you to change your email address, then make sure you don't use it on any sites that are or could be at all dodgy.
