Ben Carlson Scammer Tries to Buy Painting

Here's an example of the type of email I receive quite frequently. It's good to know this website continues to be useful.

Thank you for creating a blog to alert Craigslist users to known scammers. I have received two emails from a Dr. Ben Carlson who seemed interested in a painting I am trying to sell. I am sending you his first email, to which I replied with caution. His second email was much more insistent so I Googled a portion of it and found your blog. I flagged his second email as spam, but I wish I had saved it to send to you. Anyway, thanks again for helping me avoid being scammed. Keep up the good fight.
