If we started creating threads for every scam on Craigslist alone, we'd fill the first 5 pages of this forum with the threads.

Apr 29, 2012 13:30 | #4 No harm no foul. I don't mind threads such as this one at all. If you don't like it, don't read it. I think it does help to remind us all to be careful, especially folks new to photography and buying/selling gear. Plus it's always good for a chuckle. http://www.ronbaileyphotography.com/

It seems perfectly ok to warn and educate people when a specific question is asked...but there's not a need to start an individual thread for every scam out there. As a matter of fact, there are several existing threads for folks to post Craigslist scams into. You can find one of many by clicking here: CraigList Scam Alerts. Bryan The value in posting it here is that I have found that many of the CL scams appear as multiple listings in multiple cities!
