Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The email message below with the subject: "United Nations Arbitration Centre Department," which claims that the recipients have received new messages from Craigslist but their inboxes are full, is a phishing scam.

My account shows these websites listed on my saved password files in my google account.inbox.craigsljst.net, messages.craiigsllist.com, 210.craigslist.org-int.xyz.I have no idea how they got there. How is this possible?
For security reasons, please change your Google password.
Now i'm worried. I received the msg:"Dear user, Your inbox is full, new messages for your item. Read your Craiglist here:tap to load Previewhxxp://readcl.com"And I clicked on it - unfamiliar with craigslist.... what should I do? Have I let those horrible people into my phone? I have an iPhone...
Clicking on the link will not give them access to your phone unless you have downloaded and installed some malicious app. If you did install an app after clicking the link, remove it.And, if you attempted to sign into the page you were taken to after clicking the link, please change all of your online account passwords.
Received via email:"I receive a text on my phone:Your Craiglist Inbox is full, new messages for your item.Read them here:Tap to LoadPreviewBeware is "Phising" Scam from (609) 888-8164"

I have received an email like the one above, slight problem there is no craigslist in England, so I have sent it to my scam blocker, but it is still sending because the email senders keep changing their addresses. The sender code is [95767488. 4584A7B292182DF 14913227-103 .06F.00000152.0254]I hope you find it of use.Yours,S H
Isn't there someway to stop these? It does have my email address, where did they get it and how to stop this c**p. Been getting a lot of these lately. Craigslist Inbox Full. CSCraigslist Support <02371816.E81011DBD8 ADB19AA481D422716-453955- 103.0x6e.00000324.0121>This message was identified as spam. It's not spamYou have received:2 New MessagesFrom Craigslist w4m:Click Here For Ad"
You have received:"2 New MessagesFrom Katie > casual encounters > w4m:View HereThis is an automated response.Thank you."
What should I do if I clicked the link? It directed me to another site that I closed immediately, but I still accessed it.
Once you didn't submit your personal or financial information, download and install application, you are OK.
"Your Craigslist box is full" is another spam email header.
On 8/8/2016 I received the identical message shown in the scam alert.I did nothing but delete it. Bottomline, THEY are still active, beware.
I just spent time on craigslist trying to unsubscribe because of them. Thanks for the heads-up!
I keep getting this email about Craigs list inbox is full, I just keep deleting it.

I get at least one of these a day and I've used craigslist for years and never found any type of message mailbox and knew it sounded fishy. Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the matter.

Received this exact email today. Thanks for the tip!
Just got one in Yahoo mail. Researched it first before clicking it on.Google bought me right to this page.Thanks for the heads up!Appreciate it.
I've gotten a lot of these. I once got 2 of them in one day. Glad to confirm my suspicions that it was a scam. Thanks for the insight.
I received an email like that. With no link.
If they are in your spam folder, sometimes the links are not clickable, they have to be moved to the inbox, but don't move them, just delete them.I just got this one today:"ALERT: Your Craigslist Inbox is Full 'action required' "I load them into my blocked addresses list every time I get a new one.
