1.Normally you are 4*, but I just started receiving a notice TODAY on 1st search- 4/9/19 that I am over your limit of 200 STARS & NO MORE ARE ALLOWED....This is absurd- esp since I use your service once every 2-3 weeks & would only highlight maybe 20 max at a time!
I AM BEING STALKED BY SOME INFLUENTIAL BUDS OF EX & Feel this is probably what is happening.- They have put someone in Your company that has access to my account.
2. I do not like that you have access to My EMAIL ACCT & GO IN & "ERACE" a copy of the Ad I put in MY EMAIL...THAT SEEMS ILLEGAL.
Please discontinue both of these.

on 11/18/23 answered an ad on craigs list for a 2003 JD backhoe, listing #6714255053 with phone #702-747-2581. This ad was nothing but a scam, I was given a separate number which was Alex from E-Bay and was robbed of $11,000.00 dollars. If you could give me any information on this account would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me at 702-591-5272 or by email or Chris Puckett at the Nye County Sheriff's Office at 702-751-7000 to help with this investigation.

I saw an add on craigslist for free fire wood, and I called the number associated with the add, and was told yes the fire wood was free.The guy I talked to told me that there would be some pallets stacked up in the driveway, and the fire wood would be next to it. When I arrived at the address there were pallets stacked up, and fire wood next to them.I in turn proceeded to load the fire wood in my car, when I was confronted by the owners about the fire wood. I was told that they had just purchased the fire wood for the winter and had it dropped off. The fire wood was not free, and I told the owners that I was so Sorry, and I would respectfully bring the fire wood back.

getting deleted, red flagged by scammers or people with to much time on their hands.

why all my ads are flagged
there is NOTHING wrong with the ad and there are numerous ads that you might need to flag

NO ONE RESPONDS TO THESE REQUEST

My complaint is that craigslist Legal Department or some other section keep on flagging my post every time i post one. This started when I complained about another user flagging my ad whenever I posted one. This flagging of my posts kept on going on for months and i was forced to complain to Craigslist Legal Department, who started to victimize me by flagging all my ads, whenever I posted one. Your officials keep on flagging all my posts, every single time I post one. Even this morning, they flagged my ad more than ten times; one after the other, consecutively. I complained to Customer Service who has been very reluctant to intervene. They have never contacted me about the issue. Why are you supporting a terrible wrong like this?

Now; I would have to write to the president to use his good office to investigate the issue because there is absolutely no reason why I should be victimized by your office. My ads are decent and poses no problem to anyone. I would have no choice to involve my politicians to get justice. I even showed the numerous flagging of my posts and he was surprised. I will print all the posts and send them to the president to have it investigated.

My name is Jennifer Holt and I posted an ad on this site to find a room to rent in Paradise, Ca. I received an email from a man named Gerald William LeMay. He said that he had a room available for $450.00 a month plus $400.00 for the deposit. So, I decided to give him the money for the month of September. $450.00. To make a long story short, I decided to go online to see if this person had a criminal record. Turns out he was arrested in 2008 for trying to have sex with a minor young girl who was only 13 years old. He was a former teacher here in Paradise. He was willing to drive to Santa Cruz to meet up with this young, innocent child. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS MAN IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR!! Thankfully, the girl turned out to be an officer from Santa Cruz! Please be aware of this man trying to post ads on this site. He goes by the name g guynparadise. His post was made 7 days ago. Thanks, Jennifer Holt Cell #530-624-0722 if you have any further questions.

I can no longer flag Craigslist postings. If you look at the furniture East Bay, antiques you will see ads that are a month old and several dealers have 10 to 30 ad's at a time. If you look at M4M same thing multiple ad's and 12 to 30 day old. This is against Craigslist policy. I flag them because they abuse the system for others.

I asked a question 2 days ago, and no answer from Craigslist. They have categories for cars, trucks, boats, but none for Remote Control airplanes. These are not toys, and I did find 3 RC airplane under toys This is a bad category to place RC airplanes under, they are not toys and are very dangerous, a child could be killed by one of these if the parent did not realize they were not toys? I presently have 4 large RC airplanes to sell, but do not know where to list it, I would not suggest under toys in which they are not.

Craigslist customer service won't answer the phone! I am continually posting a sale item on craigslist under appliances. I am posting under northern Virginia, but the posting does not show under the northern Virginia listings, it continually goes to the Washington, dc listings even though I request Virginia.

I responded to a Craiglist ad. The man pretended to have a camper for rent. We had a long e-mail discussion over the details and in the end I payed a reservation-fee (805$). Now he does not answer mails or telephone calls anymore. I can mail you the whole mail conversation and a copy of the reservation form. He still has his offer on Craigslist. This man is a fraud, I will report this the police and I would advise you to remove the adds by "Glacier National Park Rentals".

I keep getting blocked from craigslist after i posted a car on-line 6 months ago. I am doing nothing wrong and i keep getting blocked, was wandering what i am doing wrong for being blocked every 4 days do people have a button they click with my email attached. why does craigslist block me. I am doing nothing, i did email a man over a car, never emailed him back after his reply, does he think i was a scammer.

I noticed constant scammers on this site very few real people just constant scammers, and does this cause everyone to just click a button that knocks a person of of sight, if this is going on craigslist must have a building full of computers blocking people. I am very disappointed for this part of craigslist and am going to give up on this sight for honest people being punished for crooks causing a system failures.

Craigslist customer service is a joke and I am madder than hell. For some reason for the last six months all I am getting off and on is my IP address is automatically being blocked I email and I never get a response yet all of a sudden it starts working again for a few days and then it gets blocked again for NO REASON! I am not posting a lot if any at all so I am at a loss as to why as they are not telling me if I am doing something so I can stop it. I finally got a new IP address and lo and behold 2 days later this happened again! This IP has been automatically blocked. If you have questions, please email: blocks-b1462404079498962@craigslist.org. They do not respond!

Rent house Id # 5557187251 posted on 04/26/2016 at 7:16 a.m. on Craigslist is a scam and this contact needs to be investigated. He is asking for copy of drivers license, and personal information to Rent this home at 305 Wildrose Ave. in San Antonio,Texas. He has been threatening Realtor whom is selling this house in the Alamo Heights area. He gathered information online though the Remax web and has posted it as his on using the name Mr. & Mrs. Richard Hatch.

My wife, has someone calling her phone and saying that they got the number off Craigslist, and that she is soliciting for adult favors on Craigslist. 2 for one. One she's a good descent law abiding person, and she's not that kind of prankster, she very upset and asking me to look in to it or call the law. I thought I would ask HissingKitty first about if it's coming from the official Craigslist website.

Whenever a Toyota car or truck with an exceptionally good price is entered on Pittsburgh craigslist, the entry is flagged within minutes. I believe some person, possibly a professional car salesman, pays someone to purchase immediately these vehicles in order to resell for a profit. Now I believe in a person making a few dollars this way, but this person is a "hog" because I've been seeing this occurring so many times. That's why I'm reporting this. I would like to get one of those great deals on a Toyota truck myself, just once.

I have had an ad posted on Craigslist for over a year. I clean houses so I have a housecleaning ad under your household services ads. I renewed my posting about 4 days ago and while I was reading my ad over I decided to check to make sure my phone number was correct, I hit the contact info and my phone number didn't show I got a pop up that said I am not a robot, so I decided to check reply and see if my information would show there, well much to my surprise it didn't and I got the same pop up that said I am not a robot.

So I deleted my ad because no one can contact me if my number or email info doesn't show and I figured maybe Craigslist got hacked! I would like to continue posting my ad on Craigslist, so I am hoping you can check this problem out and get back with me as soon as possible.

I am received scams and asking for account information for an ad I did not post. I want it removed. I have searched for it on Craigslist and it does not exist. It advertises a black leather love seat and chair for 700 in Paxton, MA. I want to know how my phone number was accessed and what is going on. I have reported this complaint to the FBI fraud line. And the Craigslist request and ID for the post it does not exist. So what is going on there? You have very poor screening of whom is posting ad's and I am concerned information is now being collected off my phone. I would expect an explanation for this gross mishap from the customer service department at Craigslist immediately.

I wish to file a complaint against Craiglist corporate. Somebody is posting a bogus ad, with post ID # 5330282259 that I am looking for a gay friend. For over 3 months I have been bombarded with texts and phone calls. I flagged the ad and someone keeps posting same day. I am going to the Plymouth, MA police today.

The following item was on Craigslist for sale, but not available to be seen. We were asked to place money in PayPal acct. then she would be able to ship us the motorhome to our address at which time we could make a decision on if we wanted to buy it, she would return our money if we decided not to buy it. Here is the acct.. in question. kc4wp-5297005755@sale.craigslist.org. She also had a very lengthy story why we could not see the motorhome that was billed as being in Las Vegas, It really was not in Vegas as she was using it in Utah at Hill Air force base where she was serving in the USAF. She said that she would have the motorhome shipped to us when we put the money into a E-bay PayPal acct. I reminded her that her Motorhome was on Craigslist not on E-bay. She explained her reasons for this which I did not understand. We ended our pursuit on the said motorhome. Her name was Lieutenant Sara Goodrich USAF currently stationed at Hill AF base, but was soon to be transferred to Alaska, that was the reason for the sale of motorhome, was a nice unit. Hopefully this scam can be brought to light and prevent any future problems for someone.

I posted and continue to post political posts about police corruption in shasta county california. The police are arresting innocent medical growers and posting lies on r&r. My posts are being deleted before they are even up. Please stop this, Thank you. The truth is important and the truth is police corruption is an important issue for America and Shasta county even more. please stop the cyber police from silencing free speach on your site.

I have NEVER used Craig's List before......I am getting calls to my cell number from many of your members about a Saturn Car with a bad transmission for sale. I have been called night and day for the past 6 DAYS. My cell number is listed on the ad. I have no car and have never/ever listed anything on Craig's List. Your poster does not know his own phone number (He listed my number)! I want the Posting/AD removed immediately. Here is the id# post id: 4998825178. NO MORE HARASSMENT. BAN THIS GUY. I am located in Northern Virginia.

I have been posting a freelance job on craigslist for the past three months. Whenever I post the same listing, it is flagged. Question: can any person who reads my post have the power to flag it? I ask this because the same person answers this ad over and over again. Unfortunately, this person does NOT meet the qualifications for the job. Because of his resentment, he flags the ad whenever it is posted. Is this a possibility -- or could it be another issue? Please answer my question: can anyone flag an ad -- or do the craigslist employees have the right to do this only?

I Responded via email to a posting on Craig's list for husky pups for sale. post ID # 49436666005. The price was $ 250.00 for a 11 week old husky pup. I was told to send a money gram from our local (Florida) Walmart to his local Walmart in Minnesota. The $ 250.00 was to include shipping the pup to our house via airplane. We haven't received anything in two days and we don't get any response from our emails or phone calls to the seller's residence. We have been scammed for the sum of # 250.00. I sure hope we can at least get his ad pulled from Craig"s list a.s.a.p. , so this doesn't happen to anyone else. This person's name is Mr. Lee Wong - phone # 763-250-7536. He said to send the money gram to Candyace Townsend.

Why do you let the same company's flood Craigslist with the same ads over and over. It take so long to go through their ads that I am going to stop using it, And so are a lot of other people. They should be limited to a small amount of ad , and not page after page.

I hired Kevin Sexton of Evergreen Painters to paint the trim on my house. He asked for $440.00 up front which was to be for 40% of the job. He and one other person came. Kevin was there for a short while in the morning then left. Both were gone along with all of their supplies when I returned home mid-afternoon. The next day nobody showed up and I called. Nobody answered my phone messages or returned my calls. I eventually found an email from Kevin saying he didn't know when he could come back. Today nobody answered or returned my calls. A short time ago Kevin responded to my email by writing that I had better find someone else to finish the job. I asked for a partial refund of what I paid him but have not had a response. Kevin did not complete much work on my house, so a refund is in order. The storm windows are off, and that leaves my home easier for intruders to enter, which has been a problem in the neighborhood. Also, since aluminum wrap was previously removed, there are gaps between the siding and windows that rain water can enter which could cause a lot of damage to my home. It was irresponsible for Kevin Sexton to make a commitment to do this work, and then walk off. Here is the ad, which is still up: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram

There are two "possible" scammers advertising cars for sale on Craigslist. First one is a VW Passat. Second is a White Camary. Both vehicles are way under prices. Sellers offer soap opera stories as to why veh is being sold. Sellers higher encourage to purchaes immediately using Craiglist Say Pay system. Both sellers state vehicles are in storage units/storage containers in distant states/areas and vehicle cannot be viewed. Both sellers., when queried, indicated all paperwork and titles will be provided upon deliver but refused to answer questions or send title copies for review. Both sellers agreed to not collect funds from the Criagslist or EBAY safe pay systems. Both sellers indicate the purchase procedures must begin immediate and this buyer must provide ID data immediate to begin the process. Both sellers indicate vehicles will be shipped at thier expense from distant locations. Both sellers indicate if there is dislike, the vehicles will be shipped back to seller at sellers expense, a very expensive process based on the selling price of the vehicles. When challenged to provide sellers cell phone information for follow up questions, refused to provide. One seller would not provide the area they were in and or the the military units from which one indicated they are assinged and preparing to go to Afghanistan.

I was to rent a room in a basement suite and contacted the renter by a Craigslist email address. The renter wanted information on myself which I provided. Then they replied that the room was available and asked my phone number, which I provided, indicating that I lived in Kamloops (and the rental was in Victoria). They asked when I would be in Victoria and I told them that I would be there on Sept.1 or 2nd. They replied to contact them when I was in Victoria. I emailed back that I would call them when I was on the ferry...and asked if that is when they would give me the address (only the postal code was provided), but with the postal code and photos, I figured out the address (number was on the house). Today, when i called from the ferry, no one was there, so I called a few hours later. I was then told by them, that they had rented the room because someone else rented the room and that they had already paid for it.... Not once was I asked for money.

It was only a one month rental for $450/month. Due to the very short and one one answer in their emails, I thought that they did not know about etranfers, etc and preferred a cheque. Anyway, I was left stuck without a place to go to and college starting in one day! Not impressed. Yes, I could have asked if they wanted a deposit, but I assumed that they would have asked. So, all in all, I think that these people should be reported and have their names, etc. flagged if they are going to post on Craigslist again. I tried to open their ad and it no longer available. I was going to make a comment on the link that allows one to make a comment, but it is no longer available. However, I am sure Craigslist would have the information on file.

Best idea ever!  It’s a great way to get things that you might need or that you might want to sell.  I just recently moved into a house and did not have a single piece of lawn equipment.  I went on Craig’s list and was able to purchase a leaf blower, mower, edger, and hedger all for under $300.  Can you beat that deal?!?  I’m sure that there are chady things that happen on Craig’s list but for my personal experiences, everything has been on the up and up.  it’s my go-to when looking for things that I might need.   

My wife has been receiving text messages about a red camaro for sale. People have been asking how much the camaro is worth etc. for about 2 weeks now. We have been telling them wrong number and finally I went into craigslist to find the add itself. cdfhp-3765027529@sale.craigslist.org 2000 camaro z28 T Top possible trade – $1(mcallen) posted 2013-05-05, 7:01pm cdt.
The phone number listed 956 432 7932 is my wife’s phone number.

This is the original ad, which is deleted now. The guy was NOT the original owner. I found that out after he portrayed that he was the guy on the title. It says ” iam the original owner always well keep, oil change every 3k, premium gas,..etc.” He was the second owner in 4 weeks. The only reason I bought it was because I believed that he changed the oil every 3000 miles for 12 years and it was only highway miles… that whole story was fraud and then he signed a paid receipt in the guys signature. There was also a lein on the title which we didn’t see when he handed us the title until we got to motor vehicle… He portrayed the guy on the title which I found out is a 72 yr old man. How do we know the owner isn’t dead and the title stolen from an estate?

Vancouver craigslist free stuff ads are being used as- a wanted section a commercial ads department animals for sale, wanted or free ( generally for pets section) personal messages, ads that respond to misplaced ads, as a section to express vulgar language and pictures. That is all that I can remember at this moment. I have just started reading the free craigslist ads and found them extremely interesting. They are an excellent source to use to find an unusual article. In the short time time that I have been reading this section, I have seen it deteriorate as the expression goes, ” right before my eyes “, and this is very sad.

Also, because of such craigslist abuse, it is possible this section may no longer be available for other legitament users. I would ask that more screening be done, so the increasing abuse would be eliminated. Once action is taken on flagged ads and craigslist is policed more, then the abusers may reduce their attempts to contaminate this section with their unwanted messages, some of which are obvious scams. Please respond to this complaint, as there are many readers that would like to see this done. Thank you very much for your time and my compliments to you on your great idea, which has been a godsend to many people.

Beware! A woman in “far north Dallas….Preston & Campbell area” will sell you broken, dirty junks on craigslist! Make sure everything works before you pay! She will not refund you after you find out that you bought whole bunch of useless stuff from her. She said many buyers wanted to return her stuff. She doesn’t want to deal with it anymore so she would not take the return. Just think why so many craigslist buyers want to return her stuff. Has she been honest with her posts?! She even flags you if you expose her on CL. CL is on her side! Unbelivable!

Here is the one of her current post: 40+ lbs BOYS TOYS matchbox GI JOE Legos GAMES Transformers STAR WARS * – $35
I’ve got a bunch of toys ..etc… Over 40+ of toys all for only $35. That one lego blue/white set in the middle of one of the pictures was alone over $35… Exact cash only. Located in far north Dallas….Preston & Campbell …

Duane Pabst is a craigslist scammer. 4/18/11 – Duane Pabst scammed me on craigslist. He lives on N Greensferry Rd in Post Falls Idaho. If you know him, or if you have been scammed by him also, please contact me at info [at] duanepabst.com. Scammer named Duane Pabst posted this ad on craigslist. Airline tickets for great prices!! Great prices now for a limited time on airline tickets with delta airlines and american airlines! Domestic round trip starts at $250 in economy class and $550 in first class! International economy for as low as $550 round trip economy! Limited availability so please respond to this post for more info or send your travel plans for a quote! thank you!

Don’t be fooled, Duane Pabst is a rip-off scammer on craigslist. I contacted him and he agreed to sell me 2 tickets to JFK from SFO for 560.00. Long story short, he sent me a bogus “CONFIRMATION” from American airlines listing me and my son as passengers, I deposited 560.00 to his account at BofA on 24th St. SF, he kept my money and never delivered the tickets.

I was reading a craigslist complaint re Ryan Wally (sp)…the poster stated they would love to hear of similar responses and I had two today! I posted and item for sale and this was my response, name was ‘Terry Bruce’. here it is. “Hi, Good to hear back from you. I am willing to pay your asking price. I will be paying you by money order as its the only way I can pay you at the moment. I would have loved to come take a look but I am presently out of town on an assignment. I will not be back in town soon. I don’t mind adding an extra fifty dollars so you can keep it in my favor, Please send me some pictures. I hope it is in good condition. Reply with your full name, cell phone number, and address where payment should be sent.I will let you know how I intend to go about the pick-up. Please take the posting off craigslist today and consider it sold to me. Expecting to hear from you soon. Thanks.”

I thought this Craigslist ad sounded a bit too good, but I inquired about it, keeping my postal address off the resume. I awoke today to a response that set of my scam radar. Checked it out on Craigslist and saw many others like him, using various names. Not sure what they expect to get from this, and I hate that I sent all that info on my resume, but am glad at least they don’t have my address. I wonder what’s going on with these personal assistant scam ads on Craigslist?

be-aware that many jobs on this craigslist website are con-artist…either trying to get personal info from you or money somehow….they sound like real jobs …but are not….put very little info in your resume if you are sending one to a job posting….leave out addresses/phone numbers and of course personal info like references or social security numbers….john’s auto on route 123 brockton employs mechanic butchers to do work on your car…stay far away from this mechanic shop…..!!!!

robert’s auto on route 123 in brockton is a crook…this shop will do work on your car and within one month the work will fall apart…they will refuse to back up any work done once they have been paid…this is one of the worst shops i have ever done business with…and he is right beside john’s auto on route 123 in brockton…run from both of these shops..unless you like to get robbed!!!!

i can not believe the garbage jobs their have in craigslist. today Saturday 1-22-2011 had a interview with a person a women if she is to call like that. i got to the interview at 11:25am ok early, the interview was for 12:00pm i call no answer no voice mail either. the office was close call again the so call mia pick-up the phone saying oh is early yes i know? the interview is at 12:00pm. waited at the parking nothing time went by.

call would not pick -up phone 4 times. then finally mia call i’ll be there in 20 mins no show then 10min no show 2 hours waiting for this fake craigslist person that never show up, wasted my gas and time on a Saturday morning. i would not trust this company. scammmmmmmmmmmmmmm … no call no show. people out there i would not bother with a company that is not real…oh by the way her name is mia gold craigslist posting # is 2172680847 making 5,0000 to 1o,oooo # (407284-2866)

mia you should be ashamed of your self noooooooo show no call.

I listed a few items for sale on craigslist and a guy named Ryan Wally immediately emailed me saying hey wanted the items. So I responded back with the usual questions and this is what I got from his gmail. I just wanted to post the scam craigslist email below, so if anybody else was getting communication exactly like this you would know not to bother with it all. Things like this that I wish would go to my junk email filter. Below is the Craigslist sample scam email that I got shortly after listing my merchandise for sale.

Sorry for the late response, I’m glad you still have it for sale, i would have love to come and see it, but my schedule is very tight. I will be mailing out your payment once you provide your full name. phone number and address. I can only pay via Corporate/Cashier check as am on a business trip now, pls let me know where to send your payment to because i wouldn’t want to loose it to someelse. I don’t mind adding fifty dollars so you can keep it in my favour, you should get your payment in 3-4 working days.

I get tired of these kinds of email scams on craigslist, it just makes me not want to sell anything at all. I think that at this point the website would be smarter setting up a kind of registered community, so that when fake people contact you like this they can be reported and removed from the community. That’s just my two cents though, and I hope you are smart enough to avoid scammers like this so you don’t have to submit a complaint on here like I did. If you have any other emails like these I would love to see them. This guy I believe was from Atlanta and he called himself Ryan Wally.

I am tired of thinking I am finding a good Job on Craigs List only to find twice this week that the “employee” wanted my credit score prior to any interview, then the IQ quiz’s etc.
