Cheapest appliance repair in the Valley!

I hired [name deleted by About.com Phoenix Guide] to fix an appliance. He charged me over $150. The next day the appliance stopped working. I called and told him that the appliance stopped working and he never returned to fix it. Don't hire him! His number is [phone number deleted by About.com Phoenix Guide]. (Note from About.com Phoenix Guide: sorry, but I don't print complaints with names and phone numbers here. Hopefully you paid in a manner that allows you to stop payment or protest the credit card charge. To find out how to file a complaint, check here: http://phoenix.about.com/od/scam1/a/complaint.htm]

ad for frying pan results in 'sex' offer

I put an ad for a chicken fryer and received numerous responses from sexy ladies (of the night?) with their nude pics in suggestive positions. I've tried to notify cl but don't think I ever got thru This is disgusting.

selling items

I put up for sale a car hauler and i was looking for a pool handrail. both were flagged and removed yet both were in the correct spots, makes no sense. its funny they can remove a legit item but can't seem to get ride of the scammers who are forever trying to get you or screw up your computer.

I frequently use Craigslist

Hi there I am a "Craigslister"..and a happy one!! I have posted ads looking for, Housing, Rooommates, and selling unneded items and answered seveals ads for items for sale, from furniture to cars etc, and have had good experiences I highly recommend answering and posting ads on Craigslist A rommate here got several jobs via the Craigslist as well, and I have used the services of some of the trades such as plumber, electrician, cleaning crew, child care provider, and so forth, who had ads on the Craigslist Good luck to all of you..:))

Electronics sellers are nuts!!!

Many of the electronics listed are at retail prices!! (sometimes even above rp) with no warranty of any kind. They flood the site and makes it hard to have a good experience.

We love to shop Craigslist

It is so easy to clean out my house or garage by putting an ad on Craigs list. I have found so many things that we needed at a reasonable price by checking on Craigs list first. You have nothing to lose! Start there first.

Craigs List Horror Story

I posted on Craigs List--and had my email account and phone number hijacked by someone selling automobiles and boats in Texas. I received phone calls from hotels for room reservations and clients wanting to buy cars on my cellular number which were not my posts. When I used the complaint lines to report this the result was they closed my account to me and accused me of being the scammer. There is no customer service line you can try to straighten this out and the scammers send you emails threatening to kick you off Craigs List if you do not respond to their email links to confirm your account. Scared to use Craigs List ever again--and it is still not straightened out. There needs to be an investigation of these people.
