Flagging Scams Works!!!
This morning, while perusing every Craigslist on the planet, I came across three obvious scam ads, all on the same C/L, all for different "Streamline" aluminum trailers, all for $2500 each, and all with odd graphics in the titles, something like S^T^R^E^A^M^L^I^N^E vs. STREAMLINE
As there is apparently a magic number of flags required to get an ad taken down, I proceeded to add mine to each ad and, what do you know, as I flagged each one it disappeared from the listings. Although the ads were all only 2 hours old I suspect that others were already busy flagging.
Bottom line, if you see a suspected scam, flag it. If it wasn't a scam the seller needs to fix the ad so it doesn't look like one.
IMHO: It's better to flag a few good ads than to let someone get scammed.
