Craigslist scams
 

I guess I've been lucky so far with everything that I've been selling on craigslist. 5 tractors 2 engines and a lot of smalls. In the last two days I've had about 12 scams trying to get me Bite. this last one almost got me thanks to my daughter who caught this last one and stop me. You know the story agree to price, send you extra money cash Check, then will send for pickup. My daughter found this website that showed that email address was a scam address. Going to stop using craigslist for a while. Was just trying to let the local cubbers get at this collection. Will have to find another way.

Do you have a link to the scam addresses?

if the buyer refers to what your selling as 'the item' its a scam, if there not willing to come to your house or meet locally its 99% a scam. no special website needed

Just curious to see if I am on it.:biggrin2:

when my Daughter gets home later tonight i'll see if she still has it

found this but kinda looks like more of a pian than im into.

Yep.

I would not stop buying or selling on CL because of the scams as they are pretty obvious.
And if not , error on the safe side and wait for the next buyer or seller to come along.

Finally talk to my daughter. What she did was to Google the Email address that the message was sent on . Other people posted that they were having scam problems with it. She did not use a site. Sorry for the miss information. Rich

That's why you have them put in there phone # to call them. No # no return email! Works.

I always state, LOCAL only, no shipping, CASH!
