Never in the history of mankind has a person’s reach been able to extend so far. This has had both good and bad consequences. On the one hand, individuals and businesses have the ability to communicate at breathtaking speed. On the other hand, insidious influences are also able to insinuate themselves on people far away with complete anonymity. Frauds and scams of enormous proportions are multiplying. The variety of scams alone are terrible to consider. It is a testament to mankind’s goodness then that there are people who are devoted to educating the public on how to avoid scams and, failing that, what to do when one is already in the clutches of one. The accompanying websites are here to help. We hope that you will have use for them.

With billions of human interactions facilitated through craigslist, the incidence of fraud, scams and other crime has been extremely low.
Nevertheless, it’s very important to take the same common sense precautions online as you would offline in order to avoid fraud.
