Tell me about it. This is the website that regularly gets people murdered, the latest being a few days ago when a man and a teen were arrested for murdering men who answered their Craigslist ad for farm work (yes farm work). The men were killed and robbed when they met with the “farmers”. And these people are hiring babysitters through this same system?

Scams luring people in search of work or a bargain to robbery and murder have always been around.
Craigslist is just the technological equivalent.
