Prevented from creating an account.
Looking deeper into Why Not?? I found that CraigsList requires an "M1 chip" mac!!
That chip came out in '23 only 2.5 years ago!!!
This means that CL is Missing Out on (and Frustrating!) maybe Millions of users. Why generate that much ill will???
Mac users LOVE their hearty Macs and KEEP them a long time.
I was happy to find a phone number, but could only leave a VM.
Will I ever get a return call??
I am UNHAPPY I've had to spend this much time and UNHAPPY I am Prevented from using my faithful CraigsList when I need it !!! --Sunny
User's recommendation: WARNING – to Mac Users of Macs older than 2 years. Not able to create an account. See image.

Verified ReviewerCraigslist is becoming the new Backpage
I was calling to let you guys know that Craigslist has officially become Back page the fact that you all don't have anybody monitoring this site like you used to back in the day is getting way out of hand because it is a lot of women on here selling themselves I've been flagging the ads and everything only to see them back up in a couple of hrs and I pay just like everyone else does, but I'm a legit massage therapist I'm selling myself if you all need somebody to keep an eye on this site let me know because I'm getting by the wrong callers calling me all because y'all are dicking around and not doing your job.

Verified ReviewerCraigslist is Negligent
Craigslist is a corrupt entity IMO. They are a platform that condones, enables, and empowers fraudsters. When notified of this activity, the company does nothing.
Craigslist allows con artists to post ads. I hired a contractor from Craigslist and was injured and ripped off due to his unethical behavior and negligence.
I have let Craigslist know and asked them to investigate and prevent this individual from placing ads, but I am ignored. I flag the ads to protect others, and Craigslist allows him to repost.
Craigslist is not a safe platform and has no safeguards to protect consumers. It's buyer beware, and it's too easy for scam artists to harm people.
- Selection
- Not safe for consumers
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Avoid Craigslist - They Support Scam Artists
Threats
Threatened by someone and you conveniently have nobody available, and your link on legal return message not sent. Is Craigslist even up and running?
Cause I know you charged me 5.00 for my ad. I expect you to find that person before it gets any further.
Your relay system is kind of flawed.

Verified ReviewerRude and Unethical Lawyer
Me and my wife hired this lawyer Richard S. Joseph Jr.
off Craigslist. Worst decision we ever made. He had a bad temper especially to the other side, and all that argueing just made it take longer and cost more. He dint really help just kinda made all these promises and did the bare minumum.
We just wanted him to explain like why his bill said he worked 40 50 hours when it looked like 2 3 hours and he would say he had to research then we ask well you said you were an expert so why do you need to research .
and he would lose his temper and say if you dont like my bills get another lawyer
We should have known better he had no office no Linkdin no website just that Craigslist ad but we went ahead anyway and it ended up wasting our time and money. later on he started getting worse snappy and short with us felt like we could not even talk to him.
An expert in 'ethics and legal malpracticehow convenient, considering how effortlessly he flip that expertise on his own clients.
We called the state bar and found out he had been reported before and one complaint had a year and a half invesgation that told us all we needed.
the bar told us we did not have to pay any bill our lawyer refuse to explain, and they would help but we had to file a complaint. we just paid it to be done with the whole thing and another lawyer got it all taken care of in a couple of days.

Verified ReviewerCraigslist Enables Scam Artists
Craigslist continues to ignore my pleas to please investigate and remove a scam artist's ads. He is an unethical contractor with many online complaints against him and he is harming people and ripping them off.
I have hard evidence but Craigslist would rather have ad income vs. protecting people. This guy is dangerous and will continue to harm and rip people off.
Craigslist has no safeguards. I continue to flag this guy's ads and Craigslist just lets him repost.
User's recommendation: Don't Use Craigslist

I didnt put any price I didnt put any for sale. Im trying to place puppies in homes.
I followed all the rules and every time I post Ive done five posts and they keep getting flagged. My son keeps getting flagged and so does my daughter-in-law. I dont understand whats going on. We all know that the craigslist is not as popular as Facebook, but I still prefer to use it and I cant understand why Im having so many problems if you could give me a call and help me solve this issue I would really appreciate it.
My phone number is 541-973-**** and my name is Candy. Please call me.
User's recommendation: Right now at this moment, I wouldn’t recommend you guys at all to anybody. I know everybody I know usually gets flagged. I don’t know if it’s a person just doing it or if it’s the company I just know that it keeps happening the whole point in having the craigslist is to be able to buy sale trade and give free stuff away
