This site is a legit site, however their protection vs scammers who post on the site is non existent. I basically try to find a product, it's a pretty good deal. I get about 3 e-mails in and then they say that they no longer reside in the area they posted in 30 minutes before I replied to their post. There is no way to flag this bs for other people, and no recourse or way to moderate this stuff. Features like GEOIP and GPS/aGPS of where the user actually posted from should be a requirement when there is this many issues with scammers. Advise to anyone going to this site: Always do things n person. Never ship. That means the first thing you should do is to get a real phone number from them (to verify they actually live in that area) and advise of in purchase only options. If they say they no longer reside there or the such it's a scam. If they ask to ship to you, it's a scam. If a buyer asks to ship to them, it's a scam. When it comes down to your personal security on this site, there is non. It's 2019. Get with the program...

Craiglist is a good site that provides a free place for people to exchange goods or services. Since removing their adult services area it has cleaned up its online transactions. This does not mean that there are not scammers that take advantage of the free posting, but that overall the site is a good site.
