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.

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.
