Recently lots of scammers have been targetting Craigslist and more specifically the boat section. 

 

Scam posts will include the following:

 

1. A "too good to be true amount" typically close to the $1200 stimulus everyone received

2. A small or poor quality picture

3. Little to no description

4. An email address directly in the body of the ad

 

Below is an example of one as well as the pictures showing the craigslist post and the actual post. Safe and happy shopping to all!

 

 

 

 

These are rampant on Craigslist and Facebook around my area.  They are getting more sophisticated in their pricing as well.

Who buys a boat sight unseen?  Especiallya used one?!

They aren't trying to scam people out of money from what I've seen. 

 

These are attempts to install spyware or such on computers/devices or identity theft or something else altogether. Several people on my local Craiglist have stated that a person reached out to them asking them to click a link for "Google verification". 

Ahh. Got ya.. Sad we have to deal with this $#!+ all the time.. 

These look like PC screen shots - how are you not running *** plus or ublock origin at this day and age?

Trying to sell something on Craigslist you get mostly scammer responses too.
