Craigslist
reviews and complaints

Hire at your own risk. There is no accounting for items sold. When asked about specific items that turn up missing, they refuse to accept responsibility even for continued security of property they are in charge of. Poor communication response time, personnel are poorly trained, pricing was ridiculous, and claimed expertise in field of antiques and their market value nonexistent. I deeply regret hiring them.

The pictures of SUV look good on the post with all the info in title it said clean. I went to where the seller lived. The SUV look great in and out paint and inside. Check it all out and took on test drive all was good. So I payed for the SUV. I made the mistake of not checking the title. When I got home I read the title and in the Arizona Brands box it said REST/SALVG. I would've of bought the SUV had I known. In Arizona the law states the seller must disclose if the auto has a salvage title. I call the seller and told her the ad post said Clean in the title block. My email is daalday

Craigslist was not a bad site in the past, it was easy to find a job or rent an apartment, but now Craigslist is a total joke! It's really hard to tell what is true and fake. Many people post on Craigslist just for fun. Recently I tried to find a job via this website and 90% of job offers which I personally tried were fake. It seems like Craigslist customer service does not care about what is happening with their site and that's actually a sad thing. Beware, this site is not only a waste of time but it is also unsafe!

Here is the link to a very seriously disturbed individual. A supposed "mover" who kept calling to make sure I would use ONLY him. Of course I was committed and ready to go. On the day of my move, he showed up, walked around, said things were too heavy and said, Im not going to do this. He left me high and dry.
I called other companies, several called me back, and one asked me what company I used..when I said BIG O MOVERS, she said, I knew it! He does this all the time, is a drug user and steals from clients. He probably had something better come up. He does this all the time. H
He really put me into a tight spot.. a bad spot. He needs to be taken off your site immediately! Trash. Or you need to have a review section, so people will know. DON"T become the site for lowlifes any longer!

Do not buy anything from www.craigslist.org, there are many fakes on this website! And also I don't recommend selling anything here too, I had a terrible experience as a seller! I was contacted by someone who was interested in buying a phone I was selling but person. We decided to meet at the station but he never showed up. After that I started to get threatening messages! I closed my account because I feel that it is not safe to use Craigslist.

This was for a house for rent. This person on the email asking for a Drivers license, check stubs and annual salary before you even view the house. Scam ! When I asked to view the house, they asked me to sent your DL, I send license and I would get the lockbox code. But then per email send your check stubs! When I said, it was a scam they got very rude! This should be investigated. No name number or company renting this house.

I'm a business woman. That's all my post consist of or roommate situation. Craigslist should be under investigation. They allow sexual assult, under age sex, private part pictures, people wanting to exchange sex for housing, but banning my posts about needing a "Math Tutor". They need to be banned and serious action against them. Not a place of business anymore. There's so many men on there who want to have sex or is looking for prostitutes and porn stars, and that's never flagged. Outrageous

I was scammed by a guy named Simon Rincon. He posts work on Craigslist about insulation, duct cleaning, finish carpentry, painting, and general labor. I paid him $1100 up front in cash to do some drywall, painting and carpentry. He did about 25% of the work, terribly I might add. He caused more damage with his shotty work which costs me more money. He ended up taking off with my $1100 in cash and the key to my home. He will not return my calls, money or house key. Needless to say, I paid to have my locks changed. By spreading the word about Simon, I have been contacted by others who fell victim to this same man. The phone number that Simon uses is [protected]. I hope that nobody else falls victim to this man.

A few years ago I had no problem finding safe housing on Craigslist. In fact, I successfully found two apartments in the past. Now, just a mere few years later, the site has become flooded with scam after scam. Everything ranging from people trying to have you send money without seeing the space, to reposting word for word and asking for a credit score (efreescore). In my opinion Craigslist has become unsafe and unreliable. They do offer warnings, but they should be actively assisting in sifting out scams as well. It makes them lose credibility and users. If they don't care enough to filter out these posts then why should we care enough to use their service. I have been searching for apartments and have run into several people trying to ask for money without seeing the place, shady pictures, asking for credit scores, and posts that are word for word the same. It's ridiculous.

There is a person that is flagging people in cedar rapids iowa area on there pets and cars and houses that thinks they own ya site.

And let them even find there dream home or car please help us people on here thank you

With the best intentions I tried to advertise a wheelchair free for anyone who might need it. I made the mistake of mentioning GMail in the post and they blocked the ad. I am sick and tired of their campaign against G Mail ! I have to do a work around to even reply to an ad that I am interested. I HATE THAT.

I wanted to rent a beach house in Rehobeth Beach Delaware for 3 adults and two dogs. I found one on Craigslist #[protected]. The realator Janelle Burns told me the house was 1200 a week and wanted me to send a $600 deposit to the owner Tonya Butler at 2119 N. Watt Ave Muncie, In 47303. I and made sure that both the addresses in Indiana and Delaware did exist. Janelle sent me her email address and phone number [protected]@gmail.com. She also sent me a contract which I filled out and attached and emailed back to her. She said I had to send a Postal Money order made out to Tonya. I went to the post office today and mailed it out priority mail with delivery confirmation and a signature required. I emailed Janelle back and tried to call but the number she gave me [protected] was out of service. I have put a package intercept on the postal money order and hope I can get it back. As it is I am out now $30 between shipping and intercept fees but it could be $630 if the Money order is not intercepted.

I've been advertising on craigslist for 5 years. We have a vacation home we rent from time to time and we follow all the rules of craigslist, even though there are multiple ads in the vacation section from rental companies and real estate companies. We've never really had any issue until we placed an ad in Jan 2015. From Jan 2015-Mar 2015, EVERY SINGLE AD WAS FLAGGED EVERY SINGLE DAY THE FIRST 30 MINUTES IT WAS ON THE SITE. We had 22 ads in a row that were flagged until ad #23 somehow escaped the flagging. There is something really wrong here! It takes me 45 mins to create an ad since the flagged ad is useless. Load pictures, show map details...then it takes them just seconds to flag it. This has to be some sort of auto-bot flagging system. I tried changing the wording, the pictures to no avail. Since ad #23, all the ads after that have been flagged and deleted. We have NEVER had this problem before. And because of it, our vacation home, which we rent for the summer months is usually booked full by mid March. It is now mid April and our house has no renters for the summer because we can't even get a single ad on craigslist! But we certainly notice the multiple ads by large rental companies fill the pages...their ads are never deleted. I have written craigslist SEVERAL times...gave them my craigslist acct so they can go in and see all the pink deleted ads. No answer but an auto response. I finally wrote the corporate office and gave a suggestion to do away with the corrupted flagging system. Allow people to mark a box if they find an ad suspicious and a comment section linked to the ad...where people can view the comments or not. But they need to stop allowing flaggers to delete whatever ads they want...this system is so ridiculous...it's completely one sided and favors the abuser 100%. It's very sad that corporate craigslist is just sitting on the sidelines doing absolutely nothing when the blog sites are filled to capacity with people begging them to do away with the flagging system. I hope someone comes up with a site that will knock craigslist off their pedestal...it is filled with trash, scammers and criminals.

Craigslist (daytona) discriminates against bbw posting on personals

I'm a bbw trying to post on cl for a guy who wouldn't mind dating someone like myself:

All my posts were flagged for removal within minutes of posting.

All I did was post honestly about myself and the type of guy I was looking for.

On Jan 13th I posted on craigslist truck for sale, I received an E-Mail today 13th from craigslist user stateing that I was F------ing ###ed for thinking my truck was worth $7500, replied I would pray for them because they needed help. would like to forward this E-Mail to someone from craigslist to look into this, no reason for someone to talk like this to anyone for posting something for sale. Thanks

I'm a musician and posted an ad looking for a band in my area. A few days ago, I noticed it had been flagged for removal. To the best of my knowledge, I am not violating any terms of service. There is nothing inappropriate in the ad. I have tried a couple times to re-word the ad and re-post it, and it still gets flagged. I'm wondering if someone from Craigslist is doing this or if it is another person browsing the website. I've tried unsuccessfully to contact the site by phone, but they claim they're unable to answer questions over the phone. According to them, you have to refer to their Help/FAQ section on the website. This has not helped me at all. I even sent them an email asking for an explanation as to why my ad was flagged and removed and as of yet I've gotten no response from them. What can I do about this?

This was a classic CraigsList scam. I should have known better but after speaking with Lorismel Matos Mendez over the phone I felt like he was honest, i was very wrong. The moment I deposited a portion of the funds needed for him to ship me the item, he stopped taking my calls and likely shut down his account. I have copies of Lorismel Matos Mendez passport and permanent resident card for the USA. If anyone knows how to prosecute him or has more information about please let me know. I have a singed contract with him that he is not honoring and I don't mind spending money to bring this criminal to justice.

I purchased a treadmill from Mr. Thompson on Mother's Day, May 11th, with the monetary gifts that I received. I am disabled and live on a very small fixed income following the motorcycle accident that took my husband's life (no life ins and hit by uninsured teen). One year later I was involved in a motor vehicle accident (also hit my uninsured teen). I gained 80 pounds (emotional eating/injuries) and need and greatly need a treadmill. Walking in neighborhood is not an option any longer being that I cannot rely on my back/legs (fell recently and paramedics called). Mr. Thompson told me by phone that the treadmill worked great and that he was selling because he was moving. He also mentioned that he is a local realtor so I felt comfortable trusting him. He loaded it onto my truck and the maintenance man where I stay unloaded it the next morning. Upon plugging it in we discovered that it did not work. Mr. Thompson demonstrated that it worked by quickly turning it on and off which did not concern me because I believed him to be trustworthy (local realtor). I immediately phoned him and informed him that I wanted to return it as soon as it was convenient for him and get my money back. He refused saying that I must have broken it. He acknowledged that it had broken before and text me instructions on fixing it. He also emailed me instructions on fixing it. I explained that I could not fix it because I do not even own a screwdriver. He replied with a short-tempered sounding text saying that he was trying to help
me. Because he was so adamant about not returning my money I suggested that we go to court to try to resolve this matter. He responded very arrogantly that he was not going to return my money. He said that if I fixed it, it would probably work. I responded telling him if he gave me my money back he could fix it and resell it being that I could not. It is obvious to me that he was aware from the beginning that it was faulty. He also told me that it would be stupid for me to take him to court for $120.00 because that was nothing. That is a lot for me! I am not a realtor. His advertisement asking price was $150.00 but when I phoned him he offered to drop the price down to $120.00 if I drove to Gladden Farms in Marana, AZ from Tucson, AZ to pick it up making it sound as though he really was giving me a great deal… he was not. I have all the texts and emails related to this horrible matter that I can supply anyone to view. It is an appalling situation emerging from a so-called trustworthy realtor that I have been forced to suffer a huge
financial loss as well as a huge loss to the potential health qualities that I would have received from a working treadmill.
