Response to Angie Aufmann's-Craigslist Beware!!!

I just left a comment on Angie’s Blog http://aaufmann.blogspot.com/2010/02/craigslistbeware.html about almost being scammed on Craigslist.com. Nowadays, many sites such as Craigslist are a pool of opportunity for scammers, who prey on individuals that think they are getting a great deal. The scammers have even targeted the job market by pretending to be a company recruiting for a certain position such as an administrative assistant. Once you submit your resume, the scammers send you an e-mail requesting more information such as your address, birthday, and social security number. There should be some type of way that Craigslist can track these scammers and stop them from taking advantage of people. Individuals also need to take precautions about who they give their personal information too also. With such a gloomy economy, scammers are looking for any type of money they can get people just need to be careful and always think realistic some deals are too good to be true and usually if it is it probably is not a deal after all!!!!!!
