The post is deleted minutes after posting and account is blocked from access

Original review posted by user Oct 04, 2018

For the last several month my post are deleted minutes after being published. Interestingly if I publish them on Saturday, they will be deleted on Monday morning. The posts are in the same section - Computers by owners - and I had similar two ads published a year ago without any problems. Now those posts will disappear sometimes an hour sometimes 15 min and immediately after being published. And if I try to re-post them I get redirected to the page to reset my password then provide my phone number to verify my account and finally back to the page where I can publish my post just to be run back to the page to reset my password.

This way I can"t even access my account. I closed my account and created a new one. I tried to post without an account. The effect is always the same; provide the phone number to verify your account and post deleted minutes later.

I've tried to contact Cl but I have never receive any help.

At this point I just suspect that there are some crooks working for CL who are just deleting posts for fun or just to get rid of the competition for their friends.

This is the example of the ad:

27 inch iMac, 3.4GHz i7, 8Gig RAM

Used iMac 27,

Included software; Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Office 2016

High Sierra installed

3.4GHz i7 processor, 8GB of Ram, 1TB HHD

Magic mouse and Keyboard included

Manufactured fall 2011

No offensive language or prohibited items or external links.

If you look at the date and time column you can see how often those posts have been deleted. And this is only part of the page from four pages in my second account. The previous account that I closed had several pages that looked exactly like that.

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Craigslist Cons: I am blocked and i sure would like to know why, No care or concern for the people that user their site, No cutoemr service, No customer service at all.

Location: San Francisco, California

Well, the posts are deleted 24 hours a day and I doubt that someone would like to sit by a computer looking for and deleting the all day long. One person cannot remove the post by flagging, clicks must come from different IP addresses.

My posts are not FLAGGED but REMOVED. I've been forced to reset my password at least 50 - 60 times within two weeks and verify my account by giving CL my email address and phone numbers dozens of times. Also I've been locked out from accessing my account by being looped between login page and reset password page. This is Craigslist scam to deny people access to their accounts.

But I have tried your suggestion, no difference. They got deleted within an hour. I also asked two of my friends to publish those posts and they got deleted within 24 hours. I tried to contact CL at least 6 or 7 times and never got any response from them.

Their customer service is a non existent joke. And finally I filled a consumer complain with Better Business Bureau.

Lets see if they can accomplish anything. Thanks for your suggestion.

Sounds like a computer dealer near you is trying to shut down competition. Try posting in a general category.
