I placed a roommate/ apartment ad on Craigslist recently, knowing full well from real first-hand experience that Craigslist is mostly scammers.
So far, almost everyone that contacted me acted like a real person, but I could see that they were only interested in my identity and not the apartment. Many of the responses appeared similar in format with odd misspellings that were similar, as if the scammers were really the same person, or ring of crooks. On a related note, the presumed real people that responded seemed to be looking for first month free, and no deposit while they looked for a job. I wish that service had a nationwide search box, so I could search for caving related items. David Locklear
