I would highly recommend staying away from Craigslist in terms of job hunting. I was duped about $2000 because of a scam! It all started when I logged onto Craigslist on the 22nd of this month--I responded to a job posting in my area for a 3rd shift Shipping Clerk position. So I emailed the person thinking nothing of it and thinking it was perfectly legitamate. Gosh--was I wrong! A guy named Glenn O. Hodges got in touch with me in response to my resume and offered me a personal assistant position. He obviously was testing me. He and I contacted each other through email and he provided me with his cell phone number. He and I were texting each other. In the most recent email he'd sent me contained something in it about him mailing me a check for $2462. But it came from a completely different person: Cassandra Wade from California. So he had me cash the check. He had me wire through Western Union $2062 and had me keep $400 as his weekly pay, which turned out to be a lie! He had me wire it to someone named Barbara Stinson in Ogden, Arkansas--he claimed that she was his travel agent and he needed the money for his flight back to the states as he was on a business trip in Canada.
I got another check via FEDEX (so was the first one) in the amount of $3782. So I cashed it in and I was going to wire someone money. He claimed that her bank card was debited while she was booking him the flight and when she contacted her bank--they told her that they'll return the money after 3 working days. All this happened only two days ago. Anyway--when I was in the middle of the second WU transaction (I had the lady at the customer service desk help me out)--I got two calls from my own bank letting me know that something wasn't right. As it turned out, both checks were proven to be fraudulent. They contacted the fraud dept to let them know what was going on. I told the clerk to cancel the transaction and she did. I gave the money back to the bank, needless to say. This Glenn guy kept texting me all day long. I filed a police report yesterday afternoon and told them everything I could possibly think of. So Glenn texted me from another cell phone number. I confronted him. He called me names and threatened to call the police and FBI--he wanted me to give him back the checks. I told him that they're on hold at the bank which they are. I also let him know that they're fraudulent checks and I got a hold of the police, also providing him with their phone number. Low and behold--he never contacted me after that point!
If it were me-I would not look for employment from Craigslist, as there are numerous scam/conartists. I'm only telling you this so this doesn't happen to you too. Below are numbers and addresses I've managed to collect throughout my ordeal:

Glenn's contact info:
469-619-2342
650-539-9039
glennhodges@barconstructions.com
madurydr4@gmail.com

Cassandra Wade
1405 Lazenby Way
Roseville, CA 95747
740-412-5209
But with THIS one--I found out on www.411.com that this address belongs to someone else. The cell phone number comes out from Circleville, OH.

The checks were supposedly written from:
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
308 NW 164th Street
Edmond, OK 70313

I was at the bank this morning. I?ll be debited about $2000 because of this horrendous scam.

I will never buy your product you harassing jerks.
I am on the DO NOT CALL list -as if that helps at all.
Call at least 2 times a day.

Got a call Wednesday, Thursday and yesterday.  This is the recorded
message that says "if you're a senior citizen".  I don't even answer them
but I sure an tired of them calling my phone!!!! So annoying...........

Accidentally answered.  Telemarketer recording.  Blocked the #.

I have asked this company countless times to stop contacting me and the calls continue

Put this one on cal block.  Three calls in two days.  The FCC is as impotent as a 120 year old.

Are you a senior citizen?  Click, block....................

"you are a telemarketer, and I don't do business with any company that uses telemarketing as a form of advertising" (stolen from a comment on this web site -- I love it).  And do not answer name unavailable ever as calls are now starting to say that often.

Let me explain my idea of robo calls. Each area code has 9,999,999 numbers fyi (7 digits). The program starts calling every number that it can in succession.  So they don't need to buy or obtain lists from anyone.  I am going to copy and paste and post this info for each number that calls me for this web site.

Nothing is going to stop these scammers and lazy collection agency who call everyone with the same name instead of looking up the right one and all we can do is block them or use call forward selective..  DNC does not work when they are robo dialing all possible random numbers. The authorities can not or will not help either.

So, just block them, don't answer unknown calls, and continue using this great site for information to be in control of your own home and cell phone calls.  If it turns out that you did not answer a call from someone you know (number not on this site), just call them back.  No problem.  Its alot of work that I do (checking the number on this web site, blocking the caller, and making my own excel spreadsheet of numbers) but at least I FEEL like I have a little control of the situation. Maybe I'm delusional.

Its our life and we need to take it back.
One person said to call forward selective to the FCC whose number is 1-717-338-2533

I am so tired of getting this recorded call. Could someone please stop these people??

Phone calls on several occasions---no one answers.  .  number is 469 619 3876.  Why can't fcc stop these calls?

Recorded female voice saying that seniors need their medical alert system to keep from dying when they fall because emergency response times are getting longer.  That is where I hung up and filed a complaint with the do-not-call hotline at 1-800-382-1222.

Spamer selling medical alert system for seniors.

Got a call at 703 PM didn't recognize the number, so didn't answer. If they call back, I'll block number.
