I just don't see why Craigslist does not get more proactive about stopping the huge amount of fake job postings. All they do is give their little warning page about the scammers. Surely they can come up with something to stop this nonsense. Otherwise they are okay with aiding these scammers and just don't care. Do they not care that some people might (and some probably have already) fallen for the scam? Are they not concerned with identity theft? Maybe the FTC should take a long look at Craigslist and light a fire under their butts.

Agreed! I haven't sent out any resumés to jobs I found through craigslist.com, I only ask for more information first. Two of the jobs have replied with automated emails about registering with some site first. Um, no thank you! One of my friends said she thought craigslist was a legit site with not as many scams as I thought. Well, I'm thinking she was WRONG! Glad I've gone with my gut feeling.

Email the CraigsList Help Wanted ads overseers("Yassuh, Boss!") at jobs@craigslist.org and let them know how lame you think their policies are. Matter of fact, email them all the time, plus send that address to some of the spammers. See how they like it!!!
