Wow!! Craig's List has gotten really rally SCARY!
I went to post a Craigslist Ad to rehome a puppy, helping my son out AND within seconds I started getting all these scam text messages wanted to send me 6 digit numbers to make sure I am real? I said no and then all interest in puppy gone, met I thought a nice couple / home for dog; my son is like they are backyard breeders! Oh okay Then I got a ton of "send more pics" and "where do you actually live"
Two hours later, realizing I had my phone number on the Ad, I deleted it. No one was really genuine about the puppy, it was really a strange afternoon as I hadn't used Craig's list in quite some time, the world has become a scary place

Hahaha. Welcome to the online millenial schitzo presence. I noticed that same presence when I first landed on GLP 10 years ago. :P

Has any of them changed? Has a single GLPer stopped roleplaying/ fantasy writing and fixed their lives in 10 years?

Shit is about to go parabolic. Sorry you had that experience. Talk to friends or just keep the dog for yourself.

For your information stupid kid...it's mostly New Delhi (physical real people location--mostly government contractors who feel they aren't given enough money from our government) and Pakistan. They feel they can do it because they feel we "hoard" the american dollar.

Re: Wow!! Craig's List has gotten really rally SCARY!
I breed Siberian Husky pups and sell them on CL. We get more for a cute puppy than I get for a calf off my farm.

I learned the scam months ago and simply delete any texts asking me about codes, calling some particular number, or whatever.

When someone wants additional pics I tell them to simply read the ad because I included pics.

Usually, I speak to the person on the phone and meet them in a public place like a gas station for the transaction.

I rarely text them back. If they cannot discuss the dog on the phone, they don't want a puppy badly enough.

It's wonderful to know that the puppies are giving some people joy and companionship during the trying times that we are in.

I have never had a bad or dangerous experience using CL.

You used to be able to rent a decent room on CL for a reasonable price. Everything was a scam last time I tried that last year and I was close to being homeless as a result. Its bad real bad.

The cashier's check is always for too much, and you have to send Surinder Smith part of the difference via Google play card codes.
