Craigslist Scams

Here's a new bit of mischief and it's pretty bad. People are posting fake ads on craigslist saying that someone has to move quickly and they are giving away everyything in their home. They post an address and then hoards of people arrive and empty the house.

This happened this weekend to Robert Salisbury in Jacksonville, OR. It also happened almost exactly a year ago in Tacoma, WA. 28 year-old Nichole Blackwell got back at her aunt Laurie Raye for evicting her mother. "Nearly everything that wasn't bolted down — and some stuff that was — was taken."

That's a pretty evil prank.
