Bogus CL ad--question for POS

Sorry, the thread I'm referring to is closed. POS--how did you discover the duplicate for sale adds in the four other cities?

No Texas inspection sticker on the car and no phone # in the craigslist ad made me wonder if it was a farce.

Google knows everything! I googled the first couple of sentences of the listing and it listed all craigslist ads nationwide.

As Grandpa Harrison always said, "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is"..... ::OldMan::

Google has a deal going with Craigslist that boosts the speed of indexing ads... Mick's technique should work pretty well on questionable ads for a while until the scammers decide they need to get craftier.

Yup, some cl scammers now paste a picture of the text so it can't be searched. For those (or any others you want to check for validity/overposting), you can go to craigshelper and paste the title or perhaps something unique in the title (like the price). Trouble is, scammers going to the lengths of pasting a photo of bs text likely have a generic title too.

You can also run the pics through www.tineye.com

I like this site to search all of CL

Good info, all. Thanks!
