Craigslist
 

My new way of posting something on C'list:

"Don't even contact me and attempt to have me arrange for a Western Union money order to some f***ing 3rd party! You are destroying Craigslist! "

Never put an email
Put a phone number and Make them call you

I don't put either, contact is anonymous via Craigslist, I then have the option of contacting.

Don't underestimate how gullible some people can be.

Before eBay started obfuscating user names, a family member of mine got a second chance notice on an auction they lost. Western union etc...

They asked me what I thought and I told them it was 100% scam.

They did it anyway because the deal was good.

I tell potential buyers that we'll make the deal in a local police stations parking lot.
Here's a scam offer I got for some golf clubs a month or so ago ....


Thanks for the prompt response to my email. I will be buying from you
so please kindly withdraw the advert from CRAIGSLIST. I don't mind
paying an additional $30 for it in order for you to take the AD down
from craigslist and also to be assured that it is already mine. Please
be informed that i will be paying with Money Order or Cashiers check
as i just moved here from CArdiff, on a job transfer and it is going
to be sent to you via courier service which is going to be mailed to
you overnight.My mover will be coming over for the pick up as soon as
you have the Money Order cashed,so you don't need to bother about the
shipping as everything on that is well arranged.I will need the
following details to mail the payment to in order to facilitate the
payment asap ..............

1.Name to be on the payment
2.Home address (not p.o. Box address)
3.Cell phone #

I am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment will be
delivered within 2-3 working days.** I use a hearing impaired phone #
and will receive your calls via email **

My last 2 post of items I received almost identical responses and is why I think Craigslist is dying as a result: SCAMMERS! That and they cut out the sex....:devil2:
