I just caught a scammer! I listed an old couch for free on Craigslist, and some guy responded right away saying he wanted it. He kept changing the pickup times (not that unusual for CL) but then said he was on his way. At the time he was supposed to arrive, he said he couldn't pick it up after all. "Hey, so we couldn’t pick this up so we ended up finding someone to pickup, just charged them a finders fee. We told them they could pay us after it’s picked up through Venmo / Zelle!" What? No. [1/2]
