I rented a room from Thomas in Henderson and had a terrible experience. He repeatedly charged me for damages and repairs when I left, including vandalizing furniture and overcharging for simple items. He was cruel and threatening throughout my stay, even yelling at me when I was sick and tried to leave. He has a history of violent behavior towards women. He withheld my security deposit, and now I might have to take legal action to get it back. My ad was flagged and removed, and I'm wondering why and how to get it reinstated. Please contact me at gogetter0412@gmail. Thank you, Gunilla Hassold.

Post ID: [redacted] appears to be fraudulent. The boat mentioned is now in South Dakota, stored in a container by eBay. They requested my personal information to open a case, but eBay confirmed that this is not legitimate. Avoid all contact with them. They initially asked for my personal email, with communication turning strange quickly. Excuses like a bad tooth preventing phone calls were used. The story shifted, mentioning moving the boat due to a death. They insisted on money before shipping, which raised red flags. One of the emails from Casey Savage <[redacted]> is included for reference. Be cautious.

I am concerned about the content on Craigslist lately. There seems to be an influx of inappropriate sexual posts, violent images, and threats that are not being adequately regulated. This poses a serious risk to users, especially during the pandemic. The issue of dangerous and explicit posts seems to be increasing, and I believe more action needs to be taken to address this. It appears that the current flagging system is not effective in removing these harmful posts promptly. It's crucial for Craigslist to actively monitor and remove such content to ensure the safety of its users. I am willing to assist remotely in flagging and reporting inappropriate posts if needed. The current situation is alarming, and it's essential for Craigslist to address this growing problem before it escalates further. A timely and genuine response to this issue is necessary to prevent any potential legal consequences.

I listed my car for sale and was contacted by "Tom" via email, expressing interest in purchasing it. He sent a cashier's check from COMERICA BANK for $[redacted] over the asking price of $[redacted]. He insisted on sending an additional $70 to prove his sincerity and requested me to remove the ad once the check was deposited. However, he pushed me to send money orders totaling $[redacted] to an address in Rio Vista, CA, under the guise of urgency for his children's needs. Despite my efforts to assist, he continued to demand more money, claiming his son was ill. Eventually, I blocked him due to relentless harassment. Subsequently, issues arose with our bank freezing our account as the cashier's check might be counterfeit. My family is now facing financial loss and uncertainty. It's disheartening how easily honest intentions can be exploited, leaving us in a difficult situation without the sale of the car to alleviate our financial burden.

I am having trouble accessing rental listings with phone numbers to contact landlords. Every time I click on a phone number, an error message appears, making it difficult for me to view apartments. This issue has been hindering my apartment search for the past three days. It is crucial for me to have the contact information of the landlord as some prefer to be contacted via phone instead of email. I would appreciate assistance in resolving this problem so I can effectively reach out to potential landlords.

I have been a loyal advertiser for many years, consistently posting listings with you. Recently, I placed an ad for an Emporio watch for $45.00 and an AD Daytona winner [redacted]. I provided a detailed description of the Rolex watch and invited offers. However, my listing was unexpectedly removed without any explanation. I reviewed your website for any possible violations but found none that applied to my post. The lack of clarification for the removal has left me frustrated and disappointed. In response, I have deleted all my postings. Thank you, Dean R. ([redacted])

I purchased a [redacted] Dutchman Lite camper on Sunday the 5th from Emma Brown on Craigslist for $1,[redacted]. Later, I received an email stating that I needed to pay an additional $1,[redacted] for Ebay motor insurance required by Arizona. I provided my details and the person, now going by David, went silent after confirming the insurance payment. When I tried to call back, the number was disconnected. The phone number they used is 1-[redacted]. I want them to be held accountable for their scam and to get my money back. This experience has made me wary of future postings. Thank you, Helen McDaniel.

I have been receiving numerous strange emails after posting my [redacted] Ford Fusion for sale on Craigslist. I have gotten around 10 emails in 20 minutes from various locations, all asking me to email them back after texting me. When I ask them to call me, they don't follow through. Recently, I received a suspicious email claiming to be from Craigslist about my listing being reported as fraudulent. It seems like a scam, and I'm hesitant to respond. Here is the link to my legitimate ad: greenville.craigslist.org/cto/d/greenville-[redacted]-ford-fusion/[redacted].html Thank you, Gary G.

Hello, I'm Brad Trudell, and I would like to address an issue with my "for sale by owner" ads for my self-designed T-shirts. I have noticed that my general T-shirt ads are consistently being removed by the system without valid reasons. These ads do not violate any prohibited criteria in the terms of use (TOU). I request that all my ads be reinstated as I am in compliance with the TOU. I believe my ads deserve a human review as the automated review system seems to repeatedly make unjust removal decisions. I am selling goods that I have intellectual rights to and am fully compliant with the terms of use. As an honest seller trying to make a difference, I hope to resolve this issue and continue my efforts without disruption. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Brad Trudell.

I posted on Craigslist to find a puppy for my friend, but she found one herself and now wants me to remove the post. Unfortunately, I can't log into my account because I forgot my password. I received an email mentioning that my account or post is on hold. I'm worried that I may have unknowingly done something wrong. I am unable to delete the post, which is causing me distress. I didn't intend to cause any trouble, and I hope to get this resolved without any issues. I seek assistance in removing the post to avoid any complications. Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely, Jackie J.

Hello, I wanted to bring to your attention that my casting team and I have been distributing flyers for our network show on Craigslist Gigs over the past three days. Despite our efforts in posting 40 flyers, they have all been flagged and removed, leading us to spend $[redacted] on this endeavor. I utilized both of my accounts for the postings. The ads we posted were instrumental in our casting process for an upcoming TV series, and we have a looming deadline to meet. Unfortunately, I have not been able to resolve this issue with Craigslist support even after providing my business information. Both of my accounts are currently on hold, and I urgently need to have these postings reinstated for the weekend. Your prompt assistance in rectifying this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Matt Solomon

I recently posted my first ad on Craigslist to find loving homes for my rescue kittens, all spayed/neutered and vaccinated. I received communication from an individual threatening to flag my ad for requesting a $[redacted] rehoming fee which hardly covers the expenses I've incurred caring for these animals over the years. Despite dedicating time and resources to saving and caring for cats and kittens, I am distressed by the possibility of my ad being removed due to this individual's actions. My main goal is to ensure these animals find good homes and recover some of my costs. I declined an offer of $40 and hope my ad can remain active.

Hello CL community, I wanted to share my recent experience with a post on craigslist (post [redacted]) titled "Skilled -Sales-Excel-Admin-CSR-BiL-Have Car." I am a hardworking individual supporting two children with rent due in just two weeks. Unfortunately, my resume was flagged by users after I posted it in craigslist Central NJ. I am in a precarious situation after my unemployment benefits have run out. My original post was about me, a versatile bilingual man with reliable transportation, seeking employment. My skills include strong sales abilities, expertise in Excel, Word, and Microsoft Access, as well as proficiency in social media management, customer service, and office administration. I am also experienced in various aspects of the staffing industry. If you believe my skills align with your needs, please don't hesitate to contact me with genuine job opportunities. I kindly ask for understanding and consideration, as I am solely looking for legitimate work opportunities. Thank you for your time. Namaste.

Hello, I recently posted an apartment for rent on Craigslist, but it was removed, and I received a message saying it was flagged. After reviewing Craigslist's terms of use, I believe the listing complies with the guidelines. The ad is detailed, including the exact street location, photos, and contact information to assure it is legitimate. I omitted my phone number to avoid unsolicited calls from telemarketers, a past issue I encountered. Notably, I indicated there is no realtor fee in the title, suspecting that a realtor may have flagged my post to eliminate competition. I have successfully posted on Craigslist before without any issues. Kindly consider reactivating my listing. Feel free to reach out if more clarification is needed.

My phone number has been used in several ads without my consent, suggesting I am seeking a romantic or physical relationship. I did not create these ads and they vary in content. This situation is causing me distress as I have received messages from seven men who shared the different ads linking to my number. I have never used Craigslist for any purpose, and I am a 19-year-old woman. While most of the ads are centered in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, one was specifically targeting my city. I wake up to messages from men daily due to these ads which are all created in a similar style. I have already reported three of these posts with the post IDs attached. This harassment is unacceptable, and I hope for prompt action to address this issue.

I purchased a motorhome on Craigslist in November last year. The odometer had been tampered with, showing over 30,[redacted] miles less. It wasn't until I decided to sell it in June that I noticed discrepancies between the odometer reading and the receipts. Concerned, I contacted the National Fraud line, posted an ad, and sold it in July. Worried about a possible investigation, I'm seeking a way to retrieve my Craigslist post for the vehicle, a [redacted] GMC VANDURA G3500 MH. I've already informed the dealership about the situation and provided them with the Craigslist ad and receipts. They purchased it directly from me. Uncertain if the dealership will disclose all details to the new buyer, I'm anxious about the consequences.

I posted a cello for sale on Craigslist Phoenix for $[redacted]. Donato Salusti cello. Jim Rhodes contacted me and agreed to buy it for $[redacted]. He sent a $[redacted] check, asking me to pay $[redacted] to his alleged movers via Zelle and FedEx. Despite my payment, he canceled the purchase due to his sister's illness and requested a refund, leaving me at a $[redacted] loss after he stopped payment on the check. This was a scam and I want to warn others about his fraudulent actions.

Hello, I am posting a wanted ad for a snowmobile in the Wyoming and Utah area. Unfortunately, someone keeps flagging my post, which has occurred multiple times despite me complying with all the rules. I am seeking a [redacted] or newer Yamaha Phazer snowmobile that might be wrecked or in need of repairs. I intend to use the motor and electronics for another non-snowmobile project. I am interested in the engine, electronics, wiring, oil and gas tank, so damage to body plastics, drive train, or suspension is acceptable as long as the price is reasonable. Please contact me via email with a phone number, and include "Yamaha Phazer" in the subject line to avoid being marked as spam. Thank you.
