Update: 08/24/10
My fried updated his ad and somehow has been blacklisted by Craigslist when he has a legitimate ad. Of all the people advertising dating sites, adult verification sites, and other frauds my friends ad caught the attention of Craigslist's Filters. My friend asked on the Craigslist forum why he was blacklisted and the only response was that he needs to take out the word "Massage" and remove the last sentence where he indicates he will not respond to frauds such as dating sites, adult verification sites, etc. I'm surprised! From what it sounds like, his ad was flagged but all the sites out there advertising dating sites, porn sites, etc were not. Looks like craigslist uses a word filter which does stop some fraudulent sites but also can block legitimate sites. A while back a newsletter that I subscribed to that discussed current events found themselves on yahoo's blacklist. How did they get on their blacklist? They used the word Casino in one of their issues which flagged them as an online Casino scam. The author of the newsletter apologized to the many yahoo readers who were no longer receiving issues that they paid to receive and it took over a month before he could get yahoo to remove him from their blacklist. Due to the blacklisting of my friends ad, I can no longer add any more to the list. If you find someone on Craigslist who is a fraud, feel free to respond. with their alleged name, email address, and details about the scam.

Update for August 7, 2010
It's been a while since I last posted and the ad to my friend has sunk down a bit as newer ads have been posted on craigslist. Because of this, he isn't getting as many responses as he has before but he has received some. Including a solicitation for prostitution type of response. I'll list the dates of the responses rather than giving each responder a number.

Here's the most interesting response! My friend indicated on his ad that he is Financially independent and is looking a financially independent woman. Interestingly Sophia is hoping my friend would be willing to have a financial type of relationship where in exchange for her giving he "body, mind, and time" any way he wants it, he "buys her a few things here and there" such as a cell phone, etc. This does sound like a legitimate person but doesn't it sound like a type of prostitution relationship? Sophia may have better luck responding to ads in the Adult Gigs section of Craigslist.
I'm 24 looking for a beneficial relationship. I will be moving to (city removed), august 30 from losangeles,ca. I will be living with my sister and her toddler until I get on my feet. I'm willing to give my body,mind,and time any way you want it. In return I would like help with a few things here and there ex:cell phone, etc..please feel free to email me if this is something that is suitable for you.
