Common Sense, Safety and Craig’s List
First things first, I have to place a big fat disclaimer on this one. Do research and use common sense when using Craig’s List. This is a place where scammers and unscrupulous people have invaded over time. Saying that,… it is what it is. So there are legitimate and fabulous ads and deals in there too. You just have to weed through them.
NEVER,NEVER and NEVER reply, go to or inquire about a “modelling job” or anything that is asking for a “beautiful woman” on Craigs List. Here I say that again, no matter how good it sounds, how legit it sounds…it is not. Save yourself from getting into trouble, apply at reputable modeling agencies. Most are unsavory types looking for something else.
Here are some common sense tips when working with people through Craig’s List.
- Schedule a meeting.
- Make it a public place.
- Bring someone with you.
- Let people know where you are.
Wouldn’t it be a nice idea to have your meeting place in front of the local police office to trade off items?
If they want you to meet at their personal house and reject your suggested meeting places then let the item go for your own safety and well being.
