How to Buy and Sell Safely on Craigslist

Never Give Out Your Real Contact Information: Craigslist gives you the option of using your true e-mail address or using a Craigslist-provided proxy e-mail address so that you don't have to expose your true e-mail when posting an ad. It's a good idea to use the proxy e-mail as it will help keep spammers and scammers from getting access to your real e-mail address. While the Craigslist-provided anonymous address is great for receiving e-mails, it doesn't con-ceal your identity when you choose to respond to someone. If you want your response to not contain your true e-mail then you may want to use a disposable e-mail address such as one from Mailinator, GishPuppy or others to conceal your identity. This will help preserve your anonymity throughout the entire transaction instead of just during the initial inquiry.

Never Give Out Any Personal or Financial Information:

Some scammers who post job listings on Craigslist will try to get you to submit to "credit checks" so they can steal your personal information in order to obtain credit cards and other things in your name.

Never give out any personal or financial information to anyone requesting it online via Craigslist. Always meet in person and deal in cash or use a secured / proxied form of payment such as PayPal so you don't have to reveal your credit information to the seller.

Always Meet The Buyer or Seller in a Public Place and Bring a Friend: For your own personal safety, always meet the buyer or seller in a public place such as a coffee shop. It's probably a good idea if you bring a friend as well to witness the transaction and keep an eye out for your safety.

Craigslist also recommends that you don't meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home. Always take your cell phone along with you, and make sure to tell a friend or family member where you are going before meeting a buyer or seller.

Remove Geotags From Pictures Before You Post Them on Craigslist: Photos you take with your GPS-enabled smartphone of items to be sold on Craigslist may have the physical location of where you took the picture embedded in the EXIF metadata which is part of the picture's file header. While it's possible that Craigslist may strip out Geotag (GPS location) information from the pictures you upload of your items, you should always remove geotag information from your photos before uploading them to Craigslist.

While you can't see the GPS geotag information in the picture, thieves using an EXIF metadata viewer application might be able to read the location information hidden in the file header which can help them locate the item. Use an EXIF geoteg removal app to remove the geotag information from your pictures before you post them online.

Shop Local When Possible: Craigslist recommends that you "Deal locally with folks you can meet in person". This is a good rule of thumb since many scammers won't risk meeting you in person and won't waste the resources needed to do so.

Never Buy Something Without Seeing it in Person First: People tend to trust that the picture a seller posts of an item is really the item being sold. Some sellers will just grab a picture they find on the internet because they are either too lazy to take one themselves or they are trying to conceal something about the real item being sold. Always check out the item in person before making a deal.
