Yep, I was fooled by one on Craigslist. Turns out that body is really, really small.

I had never spent time on Craigslist, but recently put my Roland V-Drums up for sale.  I've had about 8 replies, all scammers.  "Yeah, let me run over to Western Union and send you some money to facilitate this transaction once you send me a check for more than the amount I'm asking.  I understand that you're a marine and are stuck on a military base, but would like to purchase without even seeing it in person, and you'll arrange for your 'shipper' to come by and pick it up."

Do people actually fall for this shit?

It's a numbers game. So perhaps within millions or tens of millions or so scam/spam responses sent, there's maybe a sucker or two, fresh off the turnip truck.

Ive noticed on Craigslist in Austin there is some guy that keeps posting fake ads just to chat, people keep flagging and alerting but ya what a creep  >:(

here is the fyi: http://austin.craigslist.org/muc/4356998240.html

13 fake ads a day! Do not send your info/pictures out! (South Austin) tired of seeing the same shitty fake ads?
tell craigslist your sick of it!

You know the creepy guy who calls you from a private number and immediately starts interviewing you. He also refuses to let you hear any of his stuff saying that it's all about the chemistry. Maybe he tells you, you guys have the same name.

He posts a ton of ads all with generic photos and strange age limits of 21-45 or he'll try to slightly change it to 20-43. Stuff like that. FOREVER over-posting and just degrading the community experience in general. its a shame, because music partners is tough without a serial spammer ruining the board.

I've gotten hate email from probably the same asshole.

Haters gonna hate.

We are looking for a dedicated singer to take over on vocals and I am hoping to have a drama free Craigslist experience. I'm laughing out loud at myself right now for typing that.

If anyone on here is in south central WI and wants to sing some clean vocal doom metal let me know.

That was unreadable...  ::)

And after all that, the band is really called Struggle at the Snuggle Factory?  ???
Rock & Roll is background music for teenagers to fuck to.

"Before that," actually—the stoopid band name is the first line of the ad text.

Now here's some outside the box thinking:

WTT House full of furniture for your les paul (Rio Rancho)
Today only offer. I am moving to a new house this weekend and I don't want to take this stuff with me. I have a queen size bed and box spring with frame. The paper on the underside of the box spring is torn up from cats and the head board is missing a pin strip slate but otherwise great condition. I have a bedroom entertainment 2 drawer dresser and a 3 drawer dresser with a mirror attachment. I also have 1bedside dresser. All of these are in great shape. I also have a full size couch and loveseat. The arms on both are pretty torn up but the cusions are still comfortable. I cant deliver, sorry pick up only. This is a one day deal because im moving and after that it will go to good will. I am looking to trade for a Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul and would consider mid to late seventies law suit guitars as well. Would also consider Orange amp or vox depending on what you got. So if your lady is telling you to ditch the ax and get some furniture im your guy. I can send pictures on request and low ballers will be told politely no. Text with what you got or any questions. My number is Colorado but I live in Rio Rancho. Thank you and have a nice day.

Yeah I was pretty blown away by the audacity of this particular keyboard commando.

Had he said the things he did to someone who actually cares what random strangers think of them, then hater guy would have been lucky if he got off with a trip to the dentist for a new set of teeth.

His original msg to me is somewhere on my FB music page for your enjoyment. Might have to scroll down a way but its there. If I had my laptop I would post it here.

Here's a common type of ad in Central Arkansas, and a good example of the kind of ad I'm gonna answer exactly never times.
