Craigslist Robbery Ring
I think we all know how valuable Craigslist can be for our marketing efforts both whitehat and blackhat but these losers have really taken it to the next level.
A group of teenagers in New York were posting ads in Craigslist “selling” Porsches. One of the ads had a 2002 911 Turbo selling for $50,000 obo. Another one had a 2005 Carrera GT being sold because the owner was “getting too old” for the car.
The ringleader was 17 year old Agniesika Banach (say that 5 times very fast) who recruited 6 dudes to be her muscle. They posted the ads in the affluent Long Island section hoping for people to show up for the cars with cash down payment.
It seemed to work. One couple from Pennsylvania drove up to New York and were attached by 4 guys who then stole the $4,000 they brought as down payment and in a separate incident, 2 guys who showed up with $22,000 were assaulted although they managed to get away losing only $500. Who carries this kind of money???
And I used to feel guilty when I’d post an ad on CL for some affiliate offer.
Buyer beware.

Is it allowed (by Adsense) to market your website(offering photo services) at Craigslist?
