CL about > safety avoiding scams | prohibited | recalls | forum Personal Safety The overwhelming majority of craigslist users are trustworthy and well-meaning. With billions of human interactions, the incidence of violent crime related to craigslist is extremely low. Millions of violent crimes occur in the U.S. each year: 10,000+ homicides, 600,000+ robberies, 5 million assaults. Vanishingly few of these are craigslist-related. Nevertheless, please take the same common sense precautions online as you would offline. When meeting someone for the first time, please remember to: Insist on a public meeting place like a cafe, bank, or shopping center. Do not meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home. Be especially careful buying/selling high value items. Tell a friend or family member where you're going. Take your cell phone along if you have one. Consider having a friend accompany you. Trust your instincts. Taking these simple precautions helps make craigslist safer for everyone.
