Top narcotics officers join N.Y. war vs. craigslist drug ads:
Special New York City narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan is trying to get prosecutors across the country to join her in getting craigslist to eliminate the ads that are for selling illegal drugs. This would be a move not unlike the Attorneys General who ganged up on craigslist to try and get them to limit the erotic services postings.
Ms. Brennan wrote a letter to craigslist almost two weeks ago and not surprisingly has received no response.
SPECIAL REPORT: Trumping Prostitution on the Popular Craigslist Site:
Just wanted to share with you this quote from Palm Springs, California police about craigslist’s new measures to limit activity on its erotic services section.
Police are optimistic this will help, but they say the only way to stop the abuse completely would be for Craigslist to stop allowing “erotic services” ads.
That’s not likely to happen.
It seems like I remember someone else saying that too.
Police: Lexington man stole $30,000 from UK fans in season-ticket scam:
47-year-old Anthony William Mattingly of Lexington, Kentucky was arrested for scamming people out of money on craigslist after promising them University of Kentucky season basketball tickets.
The victims would give Mattingly a down payment for tickets then were supposed to pay the rest once the tickets were delivered. Of course there were never any tickets to begin with.
Family advertises Thanksgiving meal on Craigslist:
Another family has opened their home to the less fortunate on Thanksgiving by placing an ad on craigslist. This time it was Monique White of Littleton, Colorado. She will have thrity-two people in her house on Thanksgiving.
Ms. White, you are better person than I am. I wish you the best.
Reader Brian sent in this picture of a $3850 fake scammer check made out to everyone’s favorite character from The Rocky Horror Picture Show for a $500 cat-pee stained couch.
Brian, you actually do win at the internets.
Fairfield Prostitution Sting Yields 5 Arrests:
Police in Fairfield, California arrested 5 during a craigslist hooker sting. Some were arrested for being alleged pimps as well. Those arrested were…
Danita Donohue, 34, of Vallejo; Alsalima Madking, 28, of Fairfield; and Tracey Cloud, 33, of Vacaville, were arrested for prostitution, according to police.
Donohue also faces charges of possession of Ecstasy, and her driver, a 32-year-old Fairfield man named Joel Outlaw, was arrested for parole violation.
Cloud also had an additional charge of conspiracy, and her driver, a 24-year-old Vacaville man named Clifton Davis, was arrested on pimping and conspiracy charges, police said.
Police in Fairfield said that the sting was not only for prostitution but also for other crimes that are associated with it like drugs for example.
Online ad leads to alleged prostitutes:
Those are Kristine Lough, Michelle Farmer and Angelina Casias. They were arrested during a craigslist hooker sting by Albuquerque police.
Now I’m not for using the services of alleged prostitutes but I have to say it seems the alleged hookers in Albuquerque are a lot better looking than say Chattanooga.
Lake Zurich man out $2,000 for Bears tickets listed on Craigslist:
As you can tell by the headline a man from Lake Zurich, Illinois is out of $2K after falling for a Chicago Bears season ticket scam on craigslist. The mistake he made wiring the money. He never received any tickets and whomever he wired the money to in California is now $2K richer.
Remember kids, wiring money is the biggest red flag as far as scams are concerned.
I received an e-mail from reader Deborah from Sacramento who said she was looking for a house to rent and received one of the infamous scam e-mails.
The fake scammer name used on the e-mail? Reverend Dago Villa.
It’s a good thing that this ad didn’t run in New Jersey or else my friends Antony and Mario might have taken offense to it.
Anyway Rev. Villa wanted the money wired overseas then would send Deborah the keys. Thankfully she did not fall for it.
It’s only when enough people are educated will these scammers be put out of business.
