Scammers attack real estate:

It’s not just craigslist where the scammers have taken hold. Every once in a while we get the odd kijiji story as well and this is one of them. In case you didn’t know kijiji is a craigslist competitor that was founded and owned by eBay.

A couple from Calgary fell for the Nigerian scam by wiring money to Nigeria to a man they thought was a Calgray doctor renting out his home. He was allegedly in Africa doing ‘Christian missionary work.’

The house actually belonged to a 79-year-old woman who is selling the house but not on kijiji.

Man arrested for selling phony cable service:

This is a new twist on an old crime.

Police in Windsor, Ontario have arrested a man for selling illegal cable boxes and services on the craigslist competitor Kijiji.

This has been going on since the birth of cable and it’s also the reason why your cable bill is so high.

‘Puppies R Dead’ :

In Novia Scotia Gail Benoit is being investigated by the SPCA for selling dying puppies to people through the website Kijiji.

Benoit was already facing animal cruelty charges from another incident.

In the most recent incident Benoit is accused of selling dying puppies out of a van that says “Puppies R Us”. Because as we all know all reputable sales come out of a van.

Benoit claims she is going to reimburse the people whose puppies died within days after the sales but she’s waiting to be reimbursed from the ‘breeder’ who sold her the bad puppies.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for your money people.
