what is the CL ad posting scam?

He won't send you any money. The only thing you will get is a criminal record. DO NOT ever post ads for anyone - this is not only against Craigslist's rules (you cannot post anything you do not own or have in your physical posssession or a job that you are not offering) but is a crime. You know all the people who come on Yahoo every day complaining how they lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to a fake job scam, fake puppy scam, fake car scam, fake apartment scam, mystery shopping scam, etc they found posted on Craigslist? Who do you think places the ads - the scammer? Of course not - they look for suckers to do their dirty work. Then when the victim who lost money files a police report, the investigation leads right to your home and you get arrested. You will also be forced to pay restitution for the money these people lost due to the ads you posted

NOBODY hires another person to place ads unless it's something illegal

DO NOT post any ads. If you have already, delete them ASAP. If your "employer" asks what happened, act stupid and say you posted the ads and they should be up. If they ask again, say you got an email from Craigslist saying the ads had been removed for a violation of their terms of service and they have cancelled your account and blocked any future postings from your IP address

Then go to the police and report this person who asked you to commit illegal activity on their behalf

Just today someone posted that they lost over $3300 for a fake car posted on Craigslist and sent the money to a fake "shipping company". She's going to file a police report and I can guarantee the police will arrest the person who placed the ads since the money went overseas where the police have no jurisdiction. The person who placed the ad will also have to pay restitution of $3300 to each victim who fell for that scam and sent money

I comprehend the way you think as i've been promoting in CL of years now. I have noticeable close to everything. I quite often inform them in the ad calls best no text inquiries. It's great to sell in the community most effective and meet them somewhere just like the automobile parking space of a busy looking mall etc. In the event you get a scam text asking to your name and tackle and that they are going to send you a assess and for you to wait until it clears and they'll have their shipper opt for it up reply to them the following text message: provide your title and handle i'll send my object to you COD (cash on delivery). They'll not respond to you due to the fact you're asking them to disclose themselves which they are going to not and you have got caught them off guard as they won't be aware of methods to react or respond. It works for me every time.

WHO asked you to make an account? Why would you create an account and post something for someone else? There's no reason they can't post their own ads. He's (whoever "he" is) isn't going to send you any money.

Beware of these kind of scampers. Always avoid and delete these kind of emails and check your pc security system updated.
