Warning: New Scam Attempt
Quote | Reply
Perhaps others have experienced this, but it was a first for me and I thought I'd seen all of the scams.

Scammers are posting bikes to Craigslist but have a local phone number listed in the reply options. The phone number kicks to a Google voice account with a local area code so it seems legitimate. I wasn't alarmed by the Google voice account since it's perfectly reasonable to me that someone would use a different phone number for something like CL, but the call back and/or email back is a typical scam (item located out of the area, they'll send you an invoice, ebay will take care of contacting you if you provide your personal info, etc.). It may be worth masking your phone number if you call on a local CL ad, even if the ad appears to have a local area code.

Always have to be weary of all online ads. There is a P5 Di2 listed in Orlando right now for $2500. The pic looked familiar so I did a google search on the image and it matches an eBay listing that ended a few days ago @ $5k+.

Some Craigslist scams are just for your name & telephone number or email. Once they have it, its used to set up fake accounts for escorts & "other" things. No worries, you don't get calls from buyers but you may have issues in listing on craig's every once in a while though.
