Do you ever answer adds or post them on Craigslist? Does it make you nervous to do any of these things since the Craigslist murder?

I do post and reply on craigslist but whenever I meet with someone I bring someone with me. And I had not heard about the craigslist murder.

Your doing the smart thing by taking someone with you About the Craigslist, a man was answering want adds and going to the place listed to rob the victim. When one of the woman wouldn't let him tie her up he killed her. This happened before when a teenager posted a add for a baby sitter and killed the woman that answered to add and came to his house.

I have placed ads on Craigslist and purchased items from others through Craigslist. I haven't since that murder hit the news, but it isn't because I am afraid or nervous. I always meet people in a very public place with lots of people around such as a shopping mall or a subway/bus station. All business is conducted in plain view of tons of people. If you are worried, I'd suggest meeting at a bank during hours of operation. There are plenty of security cameras and guards there. wink

Yea, I've only been on Craigslist a few times and I was couldn't beleive that people listed their address. I feel like you I would list a public place to meet someone.

I don't recommend listing meeting arrangements at all and especially not any personal information. All details should be discussed in private. Use e-mail so that you have copy/proof of discussions.
