So I'm looking around for possible apartments / houses to rent there... among other places, I try CraigsList. Here's one of the postings I responded to - way too good to be true, and more than we actually need, but hey, can't hurt to shoot an email, right?

But now I am SO pissed... almost immediately, I received a reply:

My Homepage <--- this was a link to a cliqmeet site
"Some people come into our lives, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never ever the same."
take a closer look at the first line of the ad:
- working professional
- service your needs
... ummmm... okay, I was wondering about some choice of words, now I know....
I've already forwarded the reply to abuse@craigslist.org. I also pointed them to another similar posting (same words, different image) that is most probably another false post.
Let's hope the other two postings I responded to are genuine!
And in the meantime, I'll look at other more legitimate sites.
:p

ReplyDeleteFound the EXACT same add for a place in Charlottesville,but my reply wasn't as crazy. Same name though, and looked up the cliqmeet address that the email came from. Thanks for the heads up...
