Craigslist used to be good years ago before apps, smartphones and social media superseded it. Now most of what’s left are scammers. I’ll even go there once in a while for the sole purpose of flagging suspicious apartment ads. Hopefully yours wasn’t one of them, but they have to be pretty sketchy looking for me to flag them and a ton of them are.

when I was a renter or buyer, I look up the in the city/town records and ask if the person who wrote the ad is "so and so" and usually it is someone who is "working for the United Nations in Nigeria" or some other fake response.....this happens on apartments, cars, etc--not just housing
