WHite Van Warning on CL Chicago?

[malanga]

Looks like someone posted this warning on Craigslist:

Flagged and gone already.... I always post a warning anytime I see one of these jerks trying to pull a fast one here on the Boston CL. We probably have one or two everyday here in Boston. You think they would just give up. My guess is it's the first-time scammer, who is not familiar with Boston CL, and the fact that I ( and several others!) always post a warning when they pop up. Most of the time you don't find the same person repost after they see the warning, and they usually pull the ad themselves, rather than CL users flagging their ad.

There is so much crap on the Boston electronics that people don't bother to flag most stuff anymore, there is just way to many xbox/ps3/cellphone/ipod scammers and commercial postings that flagging is useless.

Need a good laugh, just go on the Boston electronics and have a peek for yourself. There has even been a "Escort" posting in the electronics the last couple of weeks...

Not sure why a hooker would post there, although I bet electronics is the most popular section of craigs.... maybe they figure they could score some lonely geek with extra spending money and an empty social calendar...

H-town CL has at least a couple of the 'white van scam' warnings every day.
