Don’t Give Money to Anyone You Meet on Craigslist.
If you’ve ever used Craigslist to buy or sell something, you probably already know it can be a one-of-a-kind marketplace. It’s well known that con artists use Craigslist, and it’s also well known that people who use the site aren’t always the most trustworthy. It happened exactly this way, and the fact that he trusted his instincts saved him from being robbed.
He only gave the man a general idea of where he was and then blocked him immediately when he realised something was wrong. A word of warning: unless you know for sure that the other person is trustworthy, it is best to play it safe and not give out any information that could be used to find you. This is especially important if money or other sensitive information is being talked about.
