THE MAN WHO WORKS FOR CRAIGSLIST POSTING CAR ADS HAS BUILT A FULL TIME BUSINESS POSTING SCAM CAR ADS 24/7 IN 3 STATES IN THE SOUTH EAST. SINCE HE WORKS FOR CL HE WONT FLAG HIS OWN SCAM ADS. NOW AFTER I REPORTED THIS TO HOME OFFICE IN SF. CA. HE WILL ONLY FLAG ONE OF HIS SCAM ADS AFTER IT HAS BEEN UP LONG ENOUGH TO HARVEST A BUNCH OF OUR EMAIL ADDRESSES. TODAY HE FLAGGED ONE AD AND IN 15 MINUTES HAD POSTED A NEW AD IN 3 STATES WITH 3 DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS AND THIS AD HAD BEEN FLAGGED AT LEAST 10 TIME. HELP ME DRIVE THIS BOTTOM FEEDING DEAD BEAT OF CL

I made an ad on Craigslist so that I can find homes for my puppies it clearly says that rehoming pets for a small fee is okay and that is exactly what I'm trying to do but for some reason Craigslist keeps flagging my post before it can even be put up in the list this is really frustrating i need this fixed as soon as possible

I have been looking at houses and apartments on craigslist for a month now and everyone I have called has been a scam every single one, I even flagged over 300 post and craigslist will not even remove the scammers (thats un real)Will no longer be using craigslist and I would advise everyone to move on

I wasted so much time setting up an account with craigslist, and putting an ad to sale my Mom's house, only to have it deleted for no reason within a few days. I wasted more time trying to figure out what happened to my ad, only to find out that craigslist makes a regular practice of ghosting people's accounts with no grounds. I got a couple of dead end responses to the ad. I put it on Facebook's Marketplace and I had over 1000 views in less than 24 hours. It took 5 days to get 2 serious offers. It is now sold, no thanks to craigslist!

Craigslist.com could care less about the MANY PREDATORS they bring on their own company website. Allowing just any sick demented bored, jealous, and depressed public to just start flagging good community Ads is a BIG JOKE there. I have found better places to run ads. I agree with most ALL the other Reviews... that Craigslist.com is NOT one of the best places to do business nor try to just find newcomers to a genuine Adult Recreation Club that has been formed for 10 Years. Too Much Jealousy in Florida by those who ended up in Florida because they were "Running Away From Something Bad Back Home"! Florida is filled with very ill people... Beware Before Moving To Florida... what you have to "put up with" in that State just to live a normal life and FORGET about running Ads on Craigslist.com!

I have bought and sold many things on craigslist. One really has to be on the lookout for scams because. If you are trying to sell a product or service then competitors will flag the hell out of your ads just so you get removed.

Let's face it though. It has a terrible interface. There are a lot of really strange people on there and it can be brutal to those who don't know what there doing. Yet, it is pretty much the only game in town as far as internet classifieds

I am five other people have been ripped off by somebody Chad Michael Bruns renting a house room in St Augustine. He claims there is a washer and dryer on-site as well as a stove oven range. This is a scam! He took my money personally and never put it towards rent the electricity went out and the internet went out while I was there in one month. I tried to contact Craigslist multiple times and they did not stop him from continuing to post. I have people after I have left their complaining because of my posts on Craigslist about him. Yes I am posting about somebody who ripped me off in the housing market apartments rented rooms. This is sad that Craigslist will not take care of the issue and will not do anything at all after 2 months now of me posting against a rip-off artist!

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for Craigslist. I've used it for years and years, and I made a bunch of money and bought a bunch of really cool stuff for low dollar.
I haven't read all the reviews, but if you're getting ripped off for sending money, or accepting cashier's checks or any other type of payment other than currency you're a freaking moron. Most of the bad comments I read we're bad due to the ineptitude of the customer. If you think I'm full of crap, try using OfferUp or let-go. Unbelievably bad everything. Sure Craigslist has issues, but like I said, I've been doing this for years, and I have never had a serious problem. Stay away from letgo and especially, especially offerup.
The only reason I gave this review a four-star and not five, is because they're charging $5 to advertise a vehicle. I have sold, and purchased at least a dozen vehicles in the last six or seven years. Due to all the scams and rip-offs out there, you must watch your azz. You can't expect a company that does this volume of business to make sure YOU don't do something stupid.

Ok so there's a lot about Craigslist I really love but first let's get the elephant out of the room... YES there are scammers and perverts. I've seen all kinds of ads there for roommates that I've signed up for that people never ever let me actually contact them and people thought I was a prostitute.

Basically if you're looking for a roommate you need to apply for as many ads as possible because up to 50% of them are going to be fake. But if you can find a genuine ad it's one of the best places to find a roommate. I have tried on several occasions to find roommates on Facebook and no one will reply. I don't enjoy Facebook for finding a roommate.

As far as rideshares go it's also great! I have a hard time getting around because I can't drive and I needed people to drive me to work. I don't have a job but I was willing to pay people for the ride and they said they'd do it for free. The woman I spoke to actually said I could be her roommate and that she'd drive me to work and to see my family. Yes people there thought I might be a prostitute but after I found the GOOD people I was very happy with the services offered by Craigslist. Never EVER been able to find someone to drive me around on Facebook.

I've never had a bad experience here. Just use common sense.
