INTERNET MARKETING

Or just my accounts? I have two. Both blocked. And now I got an email from Craigslist about an ad I never posted. I tried going to Craigslist, I clicked on a link and it said it was broken. When I went to the url, I got a security certificate warning. I was looking for their support area, and couldn't find it. Not good. Anyone else having issues?

I had that happen too... I get daily posting confirmation from craigslist for a real estate post that I never make. What is really weird, is that the email used isn't even my email.

Thanks

That is weird. The guy put a line in the ad asking respondents to use a different email address because he rarely checked the one he put the listing under. That's why I think he got into my account. But I can't notify Craigslist because I can't get in to the support area.

Because Craigslist blocks me at the login page. In fact, I don't think it's the real log in page, but that's where I'm being directed every time. It won't let me log in, so I can't change the pw.

Craigslist is a pain in the ass for marketers I wouldn't even bother anymore. Phone verification to post in certain categories, people deleting ads just for the hell of it lol. Getting ridiculous! Try U.Sfreeads, or Backpage there more marketer friendly!

FROM CRAIGSLIST LOGIN PAGE

WARNING: scammers may try to steal your account by sending an official-looking email with a link to a fake craigslist login page that looks like this page, hoping you'll type in your username and password.
Look carefully at the web address near the top of your browser to make sure you are on the real craigslist login page, https://accounts.craigslist.org
The safest way to login is go to the craigslist homepage directly by typing in the web address, and then clicking on the 'my account' link.

Bluewillow, you probably have already had your password stolen. You may need to open up a help desk ticket (after you access the real craislist login page) and let them know.
