Craigslist scam

[twicechosen]

Locally we had someone meet in a public place in a parking lot and they were still robbed at gun point. Careful is the word. I bought a jacket and had to meet at a pizza place in daylight and cash only. Even then. Went in with cash we had agreed on and I left everything else Locked up in the car. Everyone has to be cautious these days.

i just sold my zx6r on CL and got a ZILLION of these. Multiple times from the same address. Even when i responded saying bike is sold, i got a response saying "thanks for your response, please give me your details so i can send money". I reported each one of the emails as a phishing attack.

Wow, that's pretty bad! Here's a thought. Meet in the parking lot of the local police station.

Even cash these days doesn't guarantee that you will not get burned!
