    that craigslist was a potential scam, how are you suppose to make art in there, and eye hate how he tried to convince me eye rented an art studio in LA and got scammed so eye know what to watch out for, it looks like a broken down building they fixed up and just labeled it as art

  • LurkerWojox Wojox 🪐 (@LurkerWojox) reported

    @CKsTechNews Craigslist is still a meme, just shut it down already... Theres so much weird stuff on there its unreal

  • lizaboth seasonally depressed liz ✨ (@lizaboth) reported

    10/31/2014: was told that the small business I worked for was probably shutting down by the end of the year 11/3/2014: submitted a resume through Craigslist for an “admin assistant” position 11/4/2014: interviewed, left to visit my sister in the hospital with her newborn baby

  • TolgronAD Tolgron, the All-Hallowed (@TolgronAD) reported

    "The hospital cancelled my appointment AGAIN?" "I know. I've not had this much trouble getting someone to commit to a date since they closed down the personals section on Craigslist."

  • tailwags4 tailwags (@tailwags4) reported

    @LabradorFor So you're advertising puppies on twitter for FREE? And you have no ethical problem with that? Are you aware that there have been animals "for free" on Craigslist that have been brutalized and tortured by their "adopter"? Unbelievably irresponsible of you @LadyFreethinker

  • Gabriel15384609 Gabriel V (@Gabriel15384609) reported

    @Teargoat Can we keep the price down for a few more hours, I'm in negotiations with 2 bidders on Craigslist for one of my kidneys. Proceeds are going towards this gem #MononokeInu

  • CluelessCurl 🇭🇹 CluelessCurl 🇺🇸 (@CluelessCurl) reported

    Meanwhile, the other people that were waiting rolled their window down saying they think this is a scam. They were asked to cash app a deposit without even looking at the place. I told yeah it’s a scam and I left. Craigslist is full of this and I HIGHLY recommend to stay away

  • Man_Im_Tan Tanner Tripucka (@Man_Im_Tan) reported

    @xoxojackiegirl Craigslist would have been a better option than this. Down with Zillow!

  • SpartaGrrl Spartanessa (@SpartaGrrl) reported

    @Mr___Bone YW, yes, very trucker centric ... and the bottom line is a very good take away. one way to 'fix' it might be for people to stop buying junk from overseas and shop from creators in the USA [etsy, local shops, craigslist, friends, family] or made in USA companies

  • pets_in_danger Pets in Danger (@pets_in_danger) reported

    @saudade70 @googlenews You can't ban anyone from breeding dogs as long as Craigslist exists. One of a million reasons the pet section needs to be shut down.

  • izzzroyalty ☆ G I R L Y☆ (@izzzroyalty) reported

    @kcw18_ craigslist that’s the problem

  • BytownPhoto Mitchell (@BytownPhoto) reported

    @okcupid @LinkedIn @Twitter, etc, too. Wtb craigslist personals & life before the big data / lockdown apocalypse. Had my ex not bailed on our place we wouldn't ever have encountered this problem. Should just delete my brand accounts & make new socials / vpn or whatever

  • vpostrel Virginia Postrel (@vpostrel) reported

    @ShaneDPhillips I put one on Craigslist and wound up giving it to a guy who was moving in a few doors down. You can also just put it on the curb and somebody will probably come by, pick it up in a truck full of mattresses, fix it up, and sell it in Mexico.

  • JoshuaCuellar Josh Cuéllar🤷🏽‍♂️👻 (@JoshuaCuellar) reported

    @GOPLeader I went to college to live in a Craigslist bunkbed and have my mom buy me a hoopti to get over her psychology issues for being a neglectful mother. Thanks America. At least I get to go home in a year. Hopefully China officially makes California a colony when I leave.

  • chapps Chapps (@chapps) reported

    @PastaFazoool @SFGate When you're renting from a large distance for a vacation, you can't do 'legwork'. You have to depend on the listing and *hopefully* on the rental service. Which is why Craigslist is a poor substitute for companies that do only that and can help with a problem.

  • josheac Josh Greenbaum (@josheac) reported

    Craigslist has serious problems in this regard: scammers (pl) tried to rip off my daughter selling her American Girl dolls on @craigslist. No legit buyers, not one. @craignewmark never really cared about his poorly governed creation, this has been going on since the get-go.

  • America1stPat America1stPatriot🇺🇸 (@America1stPat) reported

    Why not just use Craigslist to organize a revolution? I already tried that in 2017, Craigslist shut me down. You have to have a site like Craigslist outside of Deepstate New World Order control

  • micread23 Michael (@micread23) reported

    @nikki_c_lane @abandonedameric @SFGate Craiglist needs to get a warning from the government, if they don't take down those scammers and check for it regularly, craiglist gets blocked from the internet.

  • bill_wurtz_bot bill wurtz bot 🤖 (@bill_wurtz_bot) reported

    craigslist needs a "buy all" button. i want to just set the ball down in the bank it goes out the other

  • Upgradez Blake Brown (@Upgradez) reported

    @AllieMBltlfrog @SFGate This is too small for law enforcement...this is federal crime, not local crime. The Sheriff has no more ability to take down the ads than she does. People need to not be so gullible and willing to hand their money over to randos on Craigslist they've never met.

  • Tecklana Alan (@Tecklana) reported

    @NYPDTips @NYPD43Pct Craigslist/FB meetup to sell goods. These 2 thugs planned it out to pretend like they did not know each other. As the deal was going down he lets in the 2nd guy who then robs the guy and they take the chains and money and leave.

    Title: Craigslist Shuts Down Personals Section After Congress Pass Bill on Trafficking 💬: What is funny about this is that they started using "legal" websites because of the ads in the ads, but I don't believe they are any legalised. It's easy to see that Craigslist…

  • acjaggard Aabra “My Brain Hurts!” Jaggard (@acjaggard) reported

    Like a werewolf tied to a tree once a month but it’s my husband talking me down from buying all the local Craigslist pianos

  • MattCameronLane Matthew Lane (@MattCameronLane) reported

    @Kirion_Kir @Hammbear They've always been problematic. Classified money was a lot cleaner, but Craigslist basically killed that off. It's a huge conflict of interest when journalism is supposed to be a check on corporate power and also relies on corporate ad money. Firewalls are an imperfect fix.

  • blackeyedcat69 Cassandra Carbee (@blackeyedcat69) reported

    Craigslist closed down the portions where one goes to find coitus. It's a good thing but I'm really disappointed from time to time.

  • _jackmcfarland_ Jack McFarland (@_jackmcfarland_) reported

    Someone has listed my number on Craigslist saying I’m currently selling ferrets and I’ve received two texts already about said ferrets. Not happy about this but it has been fun asking people what they want the ferrets for and finding new ways to turn them down

  • AlexKivimaeki Aleksanteri Kivimaki (@AlexKivimaeki) reported

    @dcuthbert @_darrenmartyn @jms_dot_py Who isn't immature? Fraudsters are playing banks all day long in order to steal billions via BEC,Craigslist and so on. It's really an impossible problem to solve when your adversary can afford high quality forgeries.

    @gptbrooke We could then break posts down into categories like actual craigslist

    i finally sold my car!!! last time i ever go into debt on a vehicle. i will forever get beaters off craigslist and let them die or just fix them.

  • ian_boyds_clone the horse you came in on (@ian_boyds_clone) reported

    When I first tried to move into ATL, I went to the Krispy Kreme with my laptop and desperately called/messaged all the listings for apartments on Craigslist until I got a hit. Luckily I ended up in my first place in ATL, right down the street near the Cookout. RIP Krispy Kreme
