Craigslist craigslist app

The X rated photos in my face when I'm scrolling through a list.
What kind of advertising do you do?
I thought you were merely from a newspaper. But scrolling through the job section and the gig section has gotten totally disgusting. Enough with advertising college girl porn now your posting full on porn photos?
i had no idea you so degraded yourself for a buck!

Craigslist fraud

I got involved in fraud when trying to buy a car on Craig's List. Lost 3000 dollars, as the seller said she was selling her vehicle through Amazon and I was asked to pay with Amazon gift cards. I loaded 3000 dollars on Amazon gift cards and emailed the codes to Amazon, which turned out to be a fraud. The car that I wanted to by was listed on your website.
Wondering if you could help to solve a crime or offer any compensation, as the crime started on your website.

Craigslist free items

I have experienced this with several individuals offering free materials. After setting up a scheduled day/time to pick materials, usually within the next 24 hours, with the party giving the materials away, when I reconfirm 30 minutes prior to my planning to arrive, awaiting for an address, turns out they did something else. I realize that you may have no control over what people do, but I'd like to suggest that you post some type of "rule of courtesy" guideline. If the giver is backing out of an arrangement, they have the courtesy to contact the party to say they have done something else. In all cases, either I've made special plans to pick up the materials, even in one case, drove the 1 hour round trip to end up with nothing. Makes one think that doing things with Craigslist is not worth the time and effort.

Craigslist our house is listed as a scam rental

A fraudulent individual has posted an ad in Boulder under vacation rentals. The pictures are fake as is the description but our address is given. Two people have already been scammed. One for $3000.00, one for $800.00. We flag the ad almost daily but do forget sometimes. Is it possible to get information on the person who is posting this ad or to remove it permanently? We're tired of people coming to our door, as one did today, asking if our house is the rental house.

Craigslist ostomy supplies

I answered a CL post from Shreveport, LA that was selling ostomy supplies. I spoke to the person Elisa Foster and made arrangements to purchase the supplies for my son. She made a big deal about she really needed the money for groceries and wanted me to send her cash through Moneygram. So I did. She seemed so trustworthy. Her 6 yo son was in the background and she took a pic of her mother with a sign saying I could trust her. I send her 180 and it cost in total 201.99. I have not heard from her since. She appears to have blocked me. I was going to send her a UPS label which would be free shipping to her.

Whatever can I do? I cannot believe I was scammed by this person over ostomy supplies.

Here is her information:

Craigslist writing/editing service

Hello, my name is Nora Alrubaie and I was browsing the site for editing service I came across
Direct email id: [protected]@gmail.com
[protected]@reply.craigslist.org

I emailed them and requested an edit/ and writing to my academic and personal statement we agreed on $50 both and to be done by Friday. The writer was unprofessional and frauded the work, I gave them a sample of how I wanted and shared some information to make them professional. First, they didn't get it supposedly done not until Saturday after 5 pm, the work was basically what I sent them and they only sent two paragraph of which unprofessionally done, and they increased the price. I requested to not pay them the remaining balance until they fix the work they refuse to do so and stopped replying to my messages. this is ridiculous not only they wasted my time but played me and I'm short in time and they used my work. I ask Craigslist to take an action to stop those people from frauding people, I will contact my bank to get my money back. but please take an action . my email is [protected]@umich.edu

Craigslist user collecting phone numbers

Woman on W4M San Jose collecting numbers from [protected], which immediately goes to "subscriber unavailable". You may want to check that one out. I gave her my CL issued G-648484 number & phone (like a dummy...but I keep hoping someone is real on CL). Please check it out. I've had some luck with CL across several commercial businesses, but this one is smelly (not my first choice of words).Thx.

Craigslist lawn service

This person and or business advertised the first grass cut is free. He did a horrible job and is now trying to charge me $35.00 for the free cut. I have no problem actually paying this man a fair price for his work which is about $25.00 even though by his ad I don't have to pay him anything. You have to take this guy off your website. He is less than honest. I really don't understand how you let people like this advertise on your web site. I will definitely pay him a fair price for his work. He did a horrible job and based on his ad on your web site the work is free. I really don't understand how you let people like this use your website for advertising. Lots of people assume you screen these people but I guess you don't. This remark will go to the local Pittsburgh newspaper if i don't hear back from you.

Craigslist unethical behavior

I received a text on Monday from a girl named herself as Tiffany about my new mattress add. She negotiated about the price and I wanted to be nice to her so I accepted her offer. She said she will come by and pick it up on Sunday. I rejected other buyers during the week as she stated she wants the item and will pick It up but then on Sunday I sent her lots of texts to ask when she is planning to come but she did not reply me back. I would like you guys to send a notice to this person so she realizes she should be thoughtful of others and if she changes her mind at least inform the seller and not just completely ignore. Her number is [protected]

Craigslist your captcha verification glitches!

Everytime I try your verification garbage - capitcha, I have to punch about 5 to 15 different pages to get to see the stupid adv I wanna see! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

What is the matter with you people at complaints department? Can you not read, comprehend, or what? I find it difficult to believe that all of you are this "stupid"!
Date of incident = every single time, I try to find the contact information for : "anyone" who placed an advertisement (For sale) on craigslist sioux falls, s. D. 57104
Resolution requested = how to rec contact information,... Without having to use the really stupid "capitcha" pictures that simply: do not work, unless I fill an extremely huge amount of those dumb cards! = usually 5 to 8 cards/pictures/etc.!
Fyi: this will no doubt be my last try at the futility of asking you people for some help. I perhaps can find another online site to validate my beefs!

EVERY time I want to see an advertisement (get the phone number data, address etc) I have to use this "STUPID Capitcha" thing, but it seldom works for me without punching 35 to fifty stupid selection! This is most frustrating! All I want is the advertisers' phone number so I can call or email them! PLEASE FIX THIS BROKEN SYSTEM of validating!

Craigslist vacation rental oceanside

Chris Luxurious [protected]@gmail.com

This was individual who responded to my recent about renting accommodation for 10 family members Dec 23-30/2017.

I received email stating this week was available and the total price was $1, 850. Upon checking other rentals in the area and the same time frame, this sounded way too good to be true. Also, noted a few grammatical errors in the communication.

The address I was given was 811B S Pacific St., Oceanside.

Perhaps this poster needs to be investigated as I believe it's a scam.

Today I received a short email stating "Are you still interested?"

Thank you.

Craigslist room for rent

Date of the incident: April 1. 2017 until present.

This complaint is against Howard Liu, who runs the Room for Rent business at the address 2369 South Forest St, WA 98144. The business name is Lake Heights LLC 4001.

I just moved out of the rental room on Mar 31, 2017 and terminated my lease 3 months earlier than the signed contract due to the non-integrity of the landlord.

The complaints include privacy violation, non-safety environment, below public health standard, and greedy charging after departure.

A- Below public health standard:

1. When I first moved in on July 26, 2016, the sink got a big hole in it and it was rusty and nasty. The landlord never fixed it.

2. The room comes with an available mattress, desk, chair and closet. The mattress has a very huge spring poky hole that had never been replaced. The previous tenant has warned me and he never fixed it.

3. When I first moved in on July 26, 2016. The living room and the kitchen were completely contrast to what the picture showed on Craigslist. The kitchen stove was nasty and had a lot greasy oil inside. During the Skype interview before I moved in (I rented the room online because I lived in TX and needed a place to stay immediately after my arrival at Seattle), the landlord mentioned that I could use the available pots, pans, plates, etc.

B. Non-safety environment:

1. The electricity went off in the winter several time and it was cold at night. It was hard to call him even though he lived in the same house because he blocked all the tenants' number. I bought a personal heater because I need a warmer temperature but he said, “not to use it because it made the breaker went off most of the time.” He was willing to turn up to 69oF, which was still too cold for most tenants in the house.

2. I constantly got respiratory problems because something came off from the heater/fan on the top of the ceiling.

C. Greedy charging after departure:

1. I understand that the landlord may keep the $490 last month rent as the break fee. But the In the contract, there is no saying about breaking the lease fee or wiping/cleaning the laundry, fridge, kitchen sink/surfaces, shower tub/sink.

2. The landlord tried to keep all of the deposit $650, which includes the last month rent $490 and refundable deposit $160 that I paid in the beginning when I moved in.

3. When I arrived there after being picked up at the airport, the kitchen was so greasy that I could not even cook. Plus, the cabinets are supper dusty and oily that no plates, pots, pans could be organized. My fridge area was spotted by ketchup and dust. The landlord told me that due to his mom's blindness, when she lived there, she could not clean up and things had to be the way it was so she could reach it if she came back. In fact, she never came back and he never cleaned it. As a result, I spend 1 day and a half to clean, scrub, and shop for supplies. Since I didn't have any convenient transportation available, I had to walk and used bus.

But when I moved out, the landlord ridiculously charged me for not cleaning after my departure because I left one dusty surface on my desk. Here is what he charged me on the email “2 hrs x 40 = 80 for cleaning (material and shopping time included).” This means that 1 cleaning hour is $40. That is way higher than nursing wage per hour. This also means that he charged this amount for everyone who did not clean/wipe and he ought to do the work if he charged it. Since I was the one doing the work for scrubbing the fridge and the kitchen when I first moved in, he did not do what he charged other people. Also, he should pay me instead.

4. There were hooks that were already on the door when I moved in, so when I moved out I left it the way it was. However, he persisted that they were mine. In the email, he charged me ““3 hrs x 50 = 150 for patching and paint over (material and shopping time included.”

D. Privacy violation:

1. In November 2016 at about 7:45pm, he knocked loudly and then slammed on the tenant's door next door to me. I was Skyping with my partner and then we heard their very rude conversation. The reason was that the smoke alarm went off due to the next-door tenant's cooking and he wanted to warn her. But she was on the phone so she could not answer. As a landlord, I believe that privacy is more important for everyone in the house. He could have been tented or email later.

2. Twice, the landlord used my room as a model for people who are interested in renting. I didn't feel comfortable for doing that.

3. He knocked on the window glass, which can view my entire room from the outside in the backyard, while I was dancing half nakedly in my room. I wonder why he didn't knock on the regular door, but he had to knock on that door. I felt very uncomfortable after he did that.

E. What's happening now?
He is trying to argue on the email with me about cleaning. Even though I have already answered that I cleaned as I go, this was what he asked over and over again “did you wipe clean the sink in the kitchen once just before your sudden departure?”
He has not refunded my deposit back. His intention was trying to keep all of the deposit. I have contacted previous tenants to get more understanding of how they dealt with him when they left. One lady said that he charged her 2 hours of cleaning due to a blind spot, dirty floor. She only got $60 back out of around $300 deposit. Another lady said that he charged her the same thing and he even charged her $9.05 after taking all of the deposit.

F. My desirable resolution:
I would like the Seattle Rental Association, Better Business Bureau, and Seattle Health Department, etc. To come and check out this rental business because he did not register nor have a license to rent the room out of his house like this. Future tenants will get ripped off and accepted the low quality of living even though they pay the same amount of money that can be paid somewhere else.

I would like to request a full deposit refund $160 back to me.

G. Attachments:
1. The picture of the desk surface that he took as a proof against me. It should only take 5 minutes wiping but he charge for 2 hrs and $40/hour.
2. The picture with five hooks that have already there when I first moved in and he charged me $150 for not taking it off.
3. The picture of after cleaning the kitchen.
4. Window glass that he looked into.
