What are some disturbing true Craigslist horror stories?

The most disturbing one I heard was when a family thought they were renting a house. They paid the deposit and first month's rent. But when they showed up on moving day, the 'owner' had already rented it to someone else and refused to return their money. They were left homeless and out of a large sum of money.

Well, in one of the true Craigslist horror stories, a person thought they were getting a great deal on a car. They met the seller in a rather secluded area. As soon as they got out of their own car to check the vehicle, they were surrounded by a group of menacing - looking people. They demanded all the cash the buyer had on them and stole some of their personal items too. Another story involves a person looking for a roommate on Craigslist. The 'roommate' turned out to be a very unstable person who started harassing the original tenant, making their living situation a nightmare. And then there was the case where someone answered an ad for a pet on Craigslist. When they got to the place, the 'pet' was in a very bad condition and it was clear that it was part of some illegal animal - trading ring.

There was a case where someone bought a used item from Craigslist. When they received it, it was broken in a way that was not disclosed in the ad. But when they tried to contact the seller to get a refund or exchange, the seller became very aggressive and started sending threatening messages. It was really scary as they didn't know what this person might do next.

Scams are a big type of horror. Like when people are tricked into paying for something that doesn't exist. For example, a person pays for a concert ticket on Craigslist but the ticket is fake.

Yes, there are. There have been numerous reports of people encountering various bad situations through Craigslist. For example, some have fallen victim to scams where they were promised a great job or a great deal on an item, but in the end, they lost money. Others have had dangerous or uncomfortable meetings when trying to buy or sell something in person, with some facing threats or being robbed.

One of the disturbing true gym horror stories might be about a person who found a cockroach in their water bottle at the gym. It's not only disgusting but also makes you question the hygiene of the place. Another story could be that a girl was stalked in the parking lot of the gym by a strange man. She felt really scared and unsafe. And for the third story, there was an instance where the gym's music system suddenly started playing really loud and screeching noises during a workout session, which was so unexpected and disturbing that it completely threw people off their exercise routine.

One horror story is about a person who bought a 'healthy' puppy from Craigslist. But when they took it to the vet, it turned out the puppy had a serious genetic disorder that the seller hid. The poor puppy suffered a lot and the new owner had to pay a large amount for treatment.

One horror story could be a roommate who constantly steals food. They would take others' groceries without asking, leaving the other roommates hungry and frustrated.

There are stories where individuals responding to Craigslist sex - related ads found themselves in the middle of illegal activities unknowingly. For example, they might have been approached by pimps or involved in human trafficking rings without realizing it at first. It's really a dangerous situation as Craigslist is not always well - regulated in such areas.

One horror story could be meeting someone who misrepresented themselves completely. They showed up looking nothing like their photo and had a very different personality. For example, they said they were into outdoorsy activities in their profile but in person, they hated the outdoors and were really into just staying indoors and playing video games all day. It was a total waste of time.
