Share some Craigslist true horror stories.

One horror story is about a person who met someone on Craigslist for a hookup. When they got to the meeting place, the other person was extremely aggressive and tried to force them into doing things they didn't want. It was a terrifying situation.

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.

Let's say Tony Shelling was selling something on Craigslist. A buyer contacted him and they arranged to meet. The buyer showed up with some sketchy - looking friends. They started to haggle aggressively and then when Tony didn't give in to their demands, they tried to steal the item right from his hands. Tony was shocked and felt really unsafe during this encounter.

One of the stories might be about a young person who was searching for a used bike on Craigslist. They found a great - looking bike at a very reasonable price. When they met the seller, the seller was really pushy about getting the money first. The young person, being naive, paid the money. But then the seller handed over a bike that was completely different from what was advertised - it was in a very bad state and almost unusable. Another horror story could be that someone was looking for a tutoring job on Craigslist. They found an ad and contacted the person. The 'employer' asked them to come to a very remote location for an interview. When they got there, they realized that it was a very strange and uncomfortable situation. There were no signs of any tutoring setup, and the person who called them there had some very odd behavior. The third story might be about a person who was renting out a room in their house through Craigslist. They got a tenant who seemed normal at first. But soon, the tenant started having wild parties at all hours of the night, disturbing the neighbors and causing a lot of trouble for the homeowner.

One disturbing story is about a person who found a 'too - good - to - be - true' apartment rental on Craigslist. When they went to view it, the so - called landlord was really sketchy. He asked for a large cash deposit upfront and then tried to change the terms of the lease on the spot. It was clear he was trying to scam people out of their money.

Well, one story I heard was about a person who found a seemingly great apartment deal on Craigslist. But when they went to see it, the place was in a really bad neighborhood and the so - called landlord was super sketchy, asking for a large cash deposit right away and not providing any proper paperwork.

Sure. One horror story is about a tenant who found out the craigslist rental was actually a sub - lease without the landlord's permission. The 'landlord' on craigslist disappeared after taking the deposit, leaving the tenant to face eviction from the real landlord.

One horror story is about a person who found a seemingly great apartment deal on Craigslist. When they went to view it, the 'landlord' was really creepy. He kept asking inappropriate personal questions and made the person feel extremely uncomfortable. It turned out he was just trying to scam people into giving him deposits without any intention of renting the place.

I heard of a situation where a female rider booked a craigslist rideshare. The driver started making inappropriate comments towards her right from the start. He made her feel very uncomfortable, and when she asked him to stop, he just laughed. She had to get out of the car at the next stoplight, even though it was in an unsafe area. This shows that there can be safety and respect issues with craigslist rideshare.

One horror story could be about a person who thought they were renting a nice apartment through Craigslist. When they showed up to meet the 'landlord', it turned out to be a scammer who tried to take their deposit money and disappear. Another might be someone who met a so - called 'job recruiter' from a Craigslist ad, but it was a front for some illegal activity and they were put in a dangerous situation.
