When I got an email back the next day, it was a long, detailed response about how I could make $30 an hour signing up for “offers.” There were immediate red flags: It involved working from home and making a lot of money for doing little. That night I responded to a normal-sounding ad for a “part time data entry person to help with a temporary computer project.” Potential scams were any vague listing that included phrases like “work from home,” “make over $1500 in first week” or “own your own business cleaning chimneys” (not a joke). I was at my part-time job one evening scouring Craigslist and weeding out the usual dead ends. When I called, an exasperated cat owner told me she’d already hired someone, and turned down at least 40 other hopefuls in the hour since she’d put up the ad. I answered an ad looking for someone to deliver a pet cat to a town an hour away for $30. It certainly seemed worse than that, because even the most terrible jobs on Craigslist filled fast. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported the unemployment rate in Tampa, Fla., at an even 10 percent that month. I grinned when the boss handed me a total of $60 for those two days, but I’m pretty sure I was just high on exhaust fumes. I even took two days of work holding a sign at a busy intersection to promote an Indian lunch truck. I responded only to ads for parking lot attendants and busboys and landscapers. As panic set in, I abandoned the dream of starting a career and set out to simply stay afloat. My degree offered few prospects in the city where I live, and breaking my apartment lease to move somewhere else would cost thousands. If I paid my upcoming rent, I wouldn’t even have gas money to get to that job. Without my student financial aid money coming in, I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills with my joke of a part-time job. It was about four days after graduation that I realized I was heading toward disaster. We know what to avoid on the Internet, the same way we know to avoid a dark alley on an unfamiliar street. So while you wouldn’t want your grandmother using Craigslist, for fear she’d wire her identity to a Nigerian prince, those of us who’ve grown up with the seediness of the Web realize it’s no big deal. Still, Craigslist does require a certain amount of street smarts it can be a landmine of check fraud Trojan horses, fake website switcheroos and other gray-area opportunities. It’s free, it’s instant, it’s hyper-local.
But I don't need to tell you that Craigslist is way better than print classifieds ever were. I was 28, old enough to remember the joy of sitting in my kitchen with a pen and a cup of coffee, circling help wanted ads in an old-fashioned newspaper. I had recently graduated college when Craigslist began to consume my life. There's also the con artist taking advantage of a few million desperate job seekers. There’s the Good Samaritan who posts an ad seeking the owner of a diamond ring he found. Williams Pinball Machine Skill Pool.A professor once told a class at my university that “all of society is playing itself out on Craigslist.” He was right, it’s all there: the things we value and no longer want, the spaces we live in, our mating calls. It has a "family friendly" disco theme with awesome "Banana" flippers.
