How to Spot Scammers on Craigslist. What You Need to Know to Stay Safe

Founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark as an email distribution list for friends,
Craigslist transitioned to a web-based service in 1996. By 2000, it had expanded
to multiple U.S. cities.

Today, more than 60 million Americans use Craigslist each month to buy, sell,
and trade goods and services.

However, the platform also attracts scammers who are a real threat, whether
you’re buying, selling, or looking for a job. These scammers often seek money,
bank account details, and other valuable information.
