Happy New Year! Thanks for writing this helpful blog. There's just way too many scammers out there. I've been pretty wary of using CL these days, aside from scammers, there are so many no-shows, or time wasters.

I'd like to comment on another scam that is HIGHLY prevelant on Craigslist. Searching for jobs is difficult, but many of the more promising jobs are following a very particular pattern. ANY, and I do mean -any- ad that features a gmail.com e-mail address for contact is likely to be in this scam. Don't believe me, type the subject line of a single period (.) and in the body of the e-mail reply type 'test'. You will receive a preformed e-mail that will send you to another site asking for information that you normally would of already sent. The sites will ask you to check back in 24 hours. When you return, you will see that it didn't save a single thing you entered. It's an endless cycle that does not benefit you at all, but is likely stealing your information. Be very cautious.
