How trustworthy is craigslist?

This is the first time I got on craigslist. I was looking for some jobs and maybe people to meet and some of it sounds too good to be true. Like one job said its gonna pay $60 an hour to speak English to some little kids. One guy said he's selling a PS2 for $60 which kinda tempted me. Then there are the ads posted by women who say they want sex no strings attached. Are these people foreal?

I have found so many bogus job and sales ads on there. Boggles my mind that so many people have enough time on their hands to just make spam ads all day long.

Those women that will have sex with no strings attached are called hookers.

I sold my Nintendo Wii on Craigslist.......be careful, there's a lot of scammers on there and alot of the time if you're looking to buy something, the prices will be higher on CL......they're trying to take advantage of morons who don't research pricing.

Isn't financial compensation a pretty substantial string?

craigslist is fine for apartments/buying/selling. bought plenty of things - powerrack, weight set appliances, other misc. things. found some insane studio/rent areas. got a sick little backhouse $250 month couple years ago when my dad made me move out

for jobs 90% of it is bogus. BUT you can find legit shit jobs. i mean the $10/hour type stuff. you can spot the fake shit easily. anything straight to the point is usually the real deal. but do a crosscheck with their email and phone

a while ago i found work at a carpet cleaning company and and work tiling. both basically just trained me in an hour
