Thieving & Thriving Ad Scams

This is a little off the beaten path of writing, but speaks well toward your reading and comprehension skills. You remember – one of the frightening categories of the ol' SATs!

So I’m looking for a new place to live. I don’t own, I rent. I don’t need much, it’s just me – though I’d love to enjoy the company of another “killer” guard-cat someday.

This past week I began perusing the Craigslist ads – oh, how I hate doing that – but shelling out for a “service” that may or may not find a great match is not an option. I tried that last time, without success. When on a lean-and-mean financial budget, Craigslist is a necessary evil.

Rummaging through the ads for various reasons is something I do periodically, so I am not new to its advantages and vices. Today I am reminded of its underbelly.
