“There are many lessons in this sad story. One of them is stay away from anything having to do with Craigslist.”
Craigslist is like any other aspect of the internet, there are evil people everywhere. I hate seeing articles like this because I make my living off of craigslist. I have met and currently am employed by individuals that I met on that site and it has proved to be the best advertising medium for my business (mechanical design).
That's an interesting counterpoint.
