Scam Breaker July 12, 2010
Overposting
I noticed identical personal postings in Craiglist throughout various cities. In fact, I have found three different postings in various US cities. I notified CL and gave my phone number so I could give the specifics to CL. Instead, I am finding CL themselves are playing games with me. Sending me canned responses like their terms and conditions and saying I am the one overpostings. The problem is an individual can not overpost yet somehow some individuals can. I suspect it is CL themselves for some unknown reason and now they are trying to scare me. They have picked the wrong person to try to scare. Today they suspended my account saying I was overposting which again is impossible unless you are CL or have some type of software that allows this. I gave them two days to repond to my latest message or I will declare war and take this complaint as high as I can.

Scammer
FYI people seems like at least 90% of personal ads in the casual encounters section are scams to link to other sites to get credit card info or some other sensitive info. Don't be fooled do the check on sites like this or others.

If the email address comes from something that you've never seen before (ie not gmail, yahoo, aol, hotmail) thats an immediate red flag.

The second red flag as those email domains as well, as they are free to get. Also do some back and forth before you send any sensitive information, often times the persons email address changes between correspondences.

General rules of thumb. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Take some extra precautions when interacting with personal ads, setup a dummy email address that doesn't have any personal info about yourself (fake name, address etc) there should be nothing that links back to who you actually are.

Be safe and happy hunting

Scam and rip off
I am a single mother with a 13 years old. Since all the changes in the economy and I have been strugle to pay my rent I decide to rent my room. A couple of people approach me and I decide to take this girl from canada she She told me she was interested in the room for just 10 months which for me workout fine. I was always Communication with her until 2 weeks ago she send me a email stating that her boss sent me a check for 4250 but it was a mistake. she said cash the check. I thought this was real because the check has the name of a company called international organic accreditation which I found on the internet. I deposited the check and the amount was in my account when I went the next to the back the check she told me to go an send her the rest of the money which was 3250 to her boss but since the check didn't clear I didn't take any money. then I deposit the check the second time and I had in my account 500.00 PLUS 4250. I made a transaction of a 1, 000 dollars it seems was 500.00 from my money and 500.00 from the check. the bank now close my account because they think I was doing fraud. I have been with this bank for the past 10 years and this is the first time something like this happen to me. I even told them that I didn't know the check was a scam but they don't care I have the copy of the check and the emails between me and her also I have the address and name for the male she wanted me to send the money

UPDATE: I just received an email from the company stating that it is fradulent. The only thing I don't undestand how these people can get hand to a check with even the logo of the company and even so how they know this company exist.

Somehow it was my fault to trust these people but before I try to cash the check I try to verify online if the name of the company was legit. I google it and I found it therefore I thought it was all true.
