Craigslist Scams and what you can do to avoid being a victim
Craigslist Scams often ask for your personal information
Often you will get an email with the sob story I mentioned earlier and they will ask you for personal information such as, Name, Address, Phone number, bank account info and many other things that I won't list. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION TO ANYONE!!! Craigslist Scams work because people are gullible in my honest opinion and the scammer tries to develop a kind of trust with you by softening you up with their story and also talking to you before they initially ask you for information so you want to be very mindful about who it is your talking to and what information you are giving them. but the whole sob story's are not always the kind of Craigslist Scams you will encounter.
Craigslist Scams: The personal ad scam
These ads are for girls looking for a date to less innocent activity but one you agree to talk to the girl she will ask that you go to a website so she can see that your actually a legit prospect to be talking to. She will give you a link to a website where you will be prompted to enter in some personal information which is always an indicator of these Craigslist Scams you want to look out for, you will then enter in your information and never hear from the girl but will start getting billed from a porn site while the scammer get's a commission for getting you to sign up, also you'll probably be getting a lot of porn in your email. so it's a sucky scam unless your super into porn and don't mind LOL.
