Rental listing asking for my phone number instead of replying

Saw a rental listing on Craigslist for Corvallis that looked like a really good deal. Six month lease or something like that. The person wanted me to give them my phone number so they could call me.

I emailed them at [email protected] but it just felt off. My number is already online but they didn't even look at my website contact page where I can see who visits. That part didn't make sense to me.

Pretty sure it's just a typical rental scam. Nobody actually replied about the place.

Fake job listing on Craigslist asking for direct deposit info

I found a job listing on Craigslist and it seemed normal at first. The guy sent me a fake job description and everything.

Then it started to feel off. He was eventually going to want my direct deposit information. I didn't give it to him.

It was in Orlando, FL. I just want other people to know about this so they don't fall for it.

Paid $600 for a job and he disappeared

I found this guy on Craigslist and he promised me service. He started the job and then demanded money. Soon as I paid him he disappeared and never came back. Lost $600.

His phone number is 1(860) 840-5498 and he's out of Middletown, CT.

Got a fake cashiers check for furniture I was selling on Craigslist

I was contacted through Craigslist about some furniture I was selling. They sent me a cashiers check for way more than the furniture cost and said I should use the extra to pay the movers. I asked for the moving company name and their contact number. I put the number into Google and it was already linked to a scam. The moving company doesn’t even exist. Their phone number is (917) 371-3365 and the email came from [email protected]. They said they were in Brooklyn, NY 11224. I didn’t lose any money but it felt off right away.

Saw a business on Craigslist falsely using the BBB logo

I saw this business advertising on Craigslist. They have the BBB logo right on their trucks, so I figured they were legit. But when I checked, they aren't actually a part of the BBB at all. That's false advertising.

They use shady business practices and it just seems really unethical. They shouldn't be allowed to operate like this. They should be shut down.
