I submitted it now on the complaint form.I did not connect with the customer rep.I wasn't able to attach the fraudulent ad but I was able to here it is below. I realized it was a scam because I Googled the address in the ad and the actual apartment had different picture, the building was different from ad and the price wasn't $950! It was over $4000.

Why is my post disappearing, twice
My ad, very simple, pair of new fancy headphones, was removed 6/29. Read something about no ph #'s or email but I removed those.
Made a new ad today- same headphones, no person info. Again it's removed.
I used Craigs list A LOT 10 years ago, posting and reading. I'm not that good/fast anymore and want to know what I did wrong without posting a third time and have it removed again.

Some one keeps flagging my post
I've used Craigslist for over 20 years and I keep on getting my post flagged. I have no idea why it's happening, but it's really ticking me off. I'm gonna just find another platform to post on.
- There are no pros
- Anyone can flag your post
Preferred solution: Stop flagging my post
User's recommendation: Find a different outlet to put your post on because if someone doesn’t like you, they can just keep on flagging it it’s ridiculous
" I'm gonna just find another platform to post on." that I have to PAY for. No more freebies for me. There, I fixed it for you.

Not expiration date or other.
Can you please let me know ?
