Craigslist pop up camper

This guy sold us a camper. Told us it was in good condition. Told us it was ready to go camping. We paid him $1800.00 got it home and the side came unglued from roof. He obviously glued it so we wouldn't notice and on ride home it came undone. Took it to rv service center and was told its unsafe to camp in. I am sooooooo mad! We have small children and he knew that. If that roof had collapsed it could have killed them and us.
I tried to contact him about this and he won't return any calls. He sold it to us via craigslist. He put his name on bill of sale as walter ward ii but his mom and dads name are jean and jeff rice, so not sure if he gave us a fake name or not. His number is [protected] hes in north carolina. Never again will i buy from craigslist. This is so dishonest. Hope we don't need to get a lawyer.

Craigslist buying and selling vintage motorcycles from craigslist

Carl Jovanovich Jr has never paid taxes to state or IRS and he lives off of Craigslist and EBay 8034 North Shore Trail He buys Vintage motorcycles and resells at Auction on EBay and has never reported a penny to either the state or IRS. He thinks it's okay for him to do so. He now uses a storage locker in Forest Lake and uses his mothers home in Andover and has different accounts to drive up bidding . He also hacks people to use their accounts for profit. He isn't reporting any of it WRONG his whole life is a scam and City and State and IRS should check on this . He stole my MSN account and has many gmails that he uses and it is wrong because his entire living is using PayPal and sells a lot of other things too

Take this down, Ms Sloan.
You know he didn't steal any email addresses from you, and he is sure is NOT a hacker or a scammer.
You are a being libelous toward him. Libel is a publishing a false statement that can be damaging to a person's reputation.
It is written defamation. You kept his property wrongfully for over 6 months! For no reason. He had to go to court and have the Judge make you give his property back. I've been wanting to say shame on you about this for a very long time.
This is most certainly NOT Carl typing this and he has no idea I am, writing this.
This is someone who cares very much for him no matter whats going on.

Craigslist discrimination

Check my account and see all of my posts which have been deleted for bogus TOS violations. Obviously I am being discriminated against because I am a conservative. There's absolutely nothing in any of my over 50 posts that were deleted that violated the TOS. I intend to hire an attorney and look into a class action lawsuit.If you wish to have a libtard only site, advertise it as such. You are not allowed to benefit from conservative posters business activity while discriminating against them for their personal activity. Sue, Sue, Sue. We're going to sue you.

Craigslist incredibly under priced small tractors

This information is for one incident but I keep finding this type of listing repeatedly on Craigslist. No information only extremely low prices and only a gmail address.
I went on Craig's for Sacramento. I saw an ad for a tractor that looked like a great deal. Only information was an email contact. I emailed the individual who was very friendly and said she was going through a divorce and needed to sell the tractor asp. She said she was a flight attendant for American airlines and was using eBay vehicle protection program to handle the transaction and deliver the tractor which was part of the cost. If I didn't like the tractor I could return after 5 days at owners expense. She asked for my name and contact info. And said she would pass it on to eBay. I gave the information and then received an email from "eBay" with an invoice number and directions on making the payment by purchasing 4-$500 eBay gift cards. Fortunately when trying to purchase the gift cards one of the store managers said that federal law only allowed her to sell one $500 gift card per day and I should do some research to make sure this wasn't a scam.

Craigslist very unprofessional

Craigslist is highly unprofessional service, I would not trust it. I tried to find a job on Craigslist but just wasted my precious time. At the beginning when I just found this site and I was surprised to see so many job offers, but unfortunately many of them were fake. I found an interesting job offer in modeling and decided to give it a try and sent my resume. They contacted me pretty fast and after we discussed all the details I found out that it had nothing to do with modeling. It was a nude photo session offer. And there are tons of that stuff on Craigslist! And it seems like Craigslist moderators don't care about that and no one actually checks what is posted on the website! Craigslist is not to be trusted!

Craigslist cars & trucks for sale by owner

I buy & sell vehicles occasionaly, but ofcourse i check these ads frequently. The ads are being flooded by scammers that want your email for whatever reason. I am a serious buyer & seller ! I see to often scammers taking pics of others vehicles & listing them for assinine prices. Im pretty good on knowing average or realistic price for pretty much any vehicle listed, even differences in state to state values. I run across vehicles that are worth example 5 to 12000 & these ### are listing them for 1, 290 or 1, 509 example. There are rare exeptions like if a couple splitting & she lists his vehicle just to get rid of it, ofcourse only legal if her name is on title. Im not the brightest bulb & have easily doubled, tripled & more on some buys. I also know some are so out of the loop they dont know or even check to see what their vehicles are worth or they might be really need the money. It is like a game to me when i go through the ads sometimes its one after another & prohibit them, cause i hate scammers ! I notice that scammers also dont use the individual pics, just the main one they copy & most want you to contact them by email. I am seeing some leaving # to call but then you are told to leave your email. I also do investigative searches on issues that concern me. I want you to know before i delete an ad its not just by price. I read the ad, if it has blown head gasket or engine or body damage & or other factors that reflect a low price that is considered. I

Craigslist elite estate service

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.

Craigslist the post was for a 2003 ggm yukon

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 joke site

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!

Craigslist https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/lbs/5864988036.html

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!

Craigslist dangerous!!

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.

Craigslist making a post

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

Craigslist simon rincon "handyman"

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.
