Someone who tries to scam you via email after you list something on craiglist. They typically send you a form email requesting personal information so they can "arrange for payment". Normally they don't reference the specific item you listed but refer to it as "your product" or "your listing". Scamtards are worse than used car salesmen but not quite as bad a child molesters.
Sample email from a scamtard:
Hello,

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.
