Craigslist Jobs and Postings.

Good Morning.

I want to address everyone that has been looking for a job for months like myself.

Now, I have been looking in this online site (thecitizennews.com), ajcjobs.com, and on Craigslist.org. Let me tell you that I posted a listing on craigslist.org about looking for a job with my qualifications, and the only e-mails I received were from overseas critters wanting to name me as the "next of kin" for someone that died years ago and has unclaimed money stashed somewhere in africa or the UK.

So, to everyone that reads this posting, please don't go on atlanta.craigslist.org to look for a job.

I like to go on Craigslist.org to offer free stuff and sell, or if I want to buy, it has to be local and with a phone number.

Now with the economy dropping like it is, more people are out to get your money more than ever!

Craigslist is ok...Just be vigilant and do your homework...

I've bought 2 cars off of Craigslist and I know others who have. You need to do your research beforehand. I have also taken advantage of some contractual and part time employment from there.

So don't paint it with such a broad stroke.

Craigslist Scam

My son was looking to buy a cheap car over the holidays, so he looked on Craigslist. He found a great looking car there for a little under wholesale cost (first red flag).

He contacted the buyer, who was in the military and going to Iraq. He wanted to sell the car quickly because he was being deployed, and plus he didn't want to pay mandatory Georgia insurance for the car when he wouldn't be driving it.

Seems reasonable, right?

Okay let's see the car.

Well, actually, it's at my last duty station in Montana (2nd red flag...Army base in Montana?) but the military will ship it here free of charge because I'm deploying out of country (3rd red flag).

Then a day later he contacted my son and said his deployment date had moved up and he was leaving tomorrow (4th red flag). He wanted us to send him the money for the car and he'd have his father draw up a legal power of attorney that said that if we didn't like the car when it was delivered he'd refund all our money, no questions asked.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

At the end of all this, my son is all hot to send him the money (this guy is going to Iraq, right? He's GOT to be honorable). Funny thing, though, he doesn't know what the VIN number is on his car, coz it's in Montana (no Carfax report for YOU!)

This sounded VERY shady to me, so I looked up some info on teh Internets (you can find EVERYTHING on teh Internets) and found out this was a major nationwide scam.

Son thinks I'm a very smart daddy for saving him from making a very foolish mistake!
