Beware Craigslist Users

  I have recently experienced a lot of funny business in the computers category. I recently spoke with many people using craigslist that were experiencing problems with a small business selling computers that were very cheap and good memory. The only problem was if the felt you were a threat the would cut you off of their calling list. Basically if you called before for an item and had a problem or they for some reason thought you were a problem they would block your number from ever calling their company. They carry an alright business but it causes customers to be ify of their business. They have you sign an agreement that at anytime if they feel they will black you out, not like beat up black out. Please don't get any of my phrases wrong.
   I write this in hopes that I can provide some helpful tips on when purchasing  items on craigslist you get your dollars worth and don't have to deal with non working objects later on.
Look up the item online, the specs, the retail price and also the reviews that others are giving this item.
When getting the item please, please, make sure this item is working, check for scratches, cracks, and even paused computers. Most items bought on craigslist unless from a licensed store don't have warranty, exchanges or money back.
  When purchasing a computer that has been used by owner I'm not sure how to say this but your putting your money at risk unless you are computer savvy. If you aren't computer savvy do your research on viruses and things of that nature to make sure you're no purchasing a 'lemon item'. Lemon items are items that are bought but have dis functions that cause you to spend more money on fixing it with the same business where they charge you  or spend money on your own. If the item needs fixing do your research and find out how much will you have to spend on fixing the item plus purchasing it. If you feel it is still worth it then go right ahead. Who am I to stop you but put some kind of sense in your head on thinking before you buy.
   If you are trying so sell something or even post something on craigslist I have noticed alot of trouble for those individuals that carry prepaid cell phones unable to post on craigslist. Not sure why they need you to verify phone numbers but people are still managing to figure it out.
  Wish you all the best in your Craigslist transactions. And please don't receive money orders, checks they can be either a scam or they are just trying to burn you. Cash transactions only, make sure you make that clear before you start a gig with the client you will be working for.
Another thing, I have recently decided not to recieve anymore donations due to the fact I am not yet a certified not for profit organization yet. But when the time comes I will let everyone know.

Craigslist Ads NEED HELP!!!

       People are crying out for help on craigslist. Many people are no longer heading to the welfare office or seeking help through organizations due to the lack of funds, the inability to provide the proper documents or not being able to qualify. These people slip through the cracks of helping hands, churches, non profit organizations. Many places do help but have limited resources to help. Sure some people do scam the system but what about those who just really need to pay bills, pay rent, buy food, pay schools back, or even car payments. Just alittle push would relieve them from whatever their financial burdens are.

     Times are hard and helping those families or individuals could help all of us including the community you live in, in the long run. Why? because when a persons job hours are lowered or they loose their job they become backed up on bills. When that happens they become desperate. Their bills pile up food becomes limited, they start looking to sell their personal belongings. When they run out of belongings to sell they begin to think of things that may be illegal like stealing, robbing, or maybe even selling drugs. This is when it becomes a problem to the community.
       Why Help those in need on craigslist? they are scammers and con artists! No some aren't and you don't need to give them the cash. I plan to become the Craigslist Helper. I plan to help those who request for help on craigslist. But for now i plan to do it in the Orlando area until i can have the proper resources to go further with it. 

       Why do I want to help? Because I was one of those people asking for help one time and was evicted from my home with all five of my children. I have hope and faith that there are kind hearted people out there that are willing to donate even 25cents. Everyday I go on craigslist and read about many people asking for help on craigslist. It hurts to see these individuals asking for help and being that I myself do not have enough money to help it bothers me. 

      This one woman, single pregnant mom posted a need help on craiglsist. At 7 months she was seeking for work to help support her 2 children. She stated how she was on the breaking point of  being homeless if she didn't find a job in time. All she wanted was a job. and a little bit of money to at least pay off some of her arrears. HELP! 

      If you are interested in helping me help others please feel free to to donate on the button bellow and leave your email or address so i can send you a letter showing you the stories of the people i will be helping.

Thank you and God Bless
