How to Contact Craigslist About a Scam or Fraud?
Craigslist is a commonly used online classified site that allows you to buy and sell a variety of products and services. One of the drawbacks to the site, however, is that users can upload fraudulent ads in the hopes of scamming other users. If you have fallen victim to fraud on the site, or suspect a seller of engaging in immoral behavior, you can contact Craiglist by filling out an online form.
