Pot Advertiser Busted on Craigslist

[Echoes]

"If you're looking to sell high-grade marijuana, Craigslist may not be the place to do it.

A Bridgeport man learned that the hard way when the "buyer" who contacted him turned out to be an undercover officer, Stamford police said."

Always a bad idea. Who would ever think putting things like that on craigslist is a good idea?! I guess this world is full of surprises.

Craigslist heavily worked in major metros for green, whitey and whores, but, I do know a few who have had success, key is starting out just offering to share a joint of something....takes care of itself in time......I had one buddy hang out blow one with someone and they turned into (over time) a 10lb week customer.....

Craigslist rocks for almost everything......for this stuff, just have to be extremely smart...(lot of people when moving to new cities also use it to establish a place to get something, etc...just have to be smart...no discussion of sales or anything like that...just hanging out and sharing some....LE not going to target that, they want the sales......people should also note they do reverse stings also (you buying), so...again.....smoking is always safest....they're not going to waste time on people who just want to blow one....

I'm sure there are successful ventures (especially in big, metro cities.) However, as a general rule of thumb I'd say don't try this as you never really know who you're dealing with online. As SoylentGreen mentioned, some people that do it are better than others.

If anything seems fishy he doesn't respond.

Anything.....(forget bust....lot of flakes running around.....)

Used to be a little different....(safer, easier)...has gotten worse though as it's grown in popularity, etc....

Lot of delivery services had/do run it in major metros also, so.....above is emphasized.....fucking anything makes you think twice, forget it (but, you'd meet in public place...about hanging out, remember? ... any buy talk (if real) would be after hanging out, blowing one, etc, etc....so.......)

that is amazing that people do that. but i suppose if you're looking to move that much weight then you would need to branch out. still, yikes...

ive had a success on there once before it was the only time i tried to, in manhattan. was the greatest thing ive come across in years. super cheap for manhattan as well. very nice latin middle age male. just be smart, if something doesnt seem right dont do it. but i must say you will find some quality genetics through CL amazingly.

You would be amazed at what someone can find out. Just searching google for the right things. So m.johnson165@comcast emails you and you see a web history going back 4 years and details the online games he plays, the car forum he belongs to, his favorite bands website, where lives in the same city and what restaurants he goes to based on a 3 year posting history on 5 message boards that he used the same name on all of them.

You can KNOW someone in 30 minutes and be on there street seeing what the house it like. etc etc and thats without me using one of the private sources someone like me has.

Yes,yes,yes,yes!

Thank you.......all right there......exactly.....

(I'm impressed....seriously, cause that's exactly how it's done....all you need is a little something and google , and you know everything you need/want to ...)

Yeah it can work for some but as the #'s go up then you're really putting too much effort into unloading.

But the main thing people is clean your online house. I had to do it some years ago when I entered a diff line of work.

I would say the main thing is the flakes are more of a time and money waster then LEO on craigslist if you do it right. People are responding to the ad out of desperation usually (connect dried up, dealer doing time) They are scared too so if you can't make a new client confortable?

We have news stories every week of more people jacked at craigslist. Everything from buying used cars and being ripped at gunpoint to velvet-yummies getting suckered by chick ads then being jacked when they go to some strange house in the shit part of town.

I am truly a layman here but I tried Goggleing my personal and business email address and nothing comes up. So you are saying Goggleing an email address can bring up info.

Can you explain more?

It all depends on what one has "out there"....

For example: One must remember the basic concepts of a typical search, and the returns and hits.

If one's email (that they tried to google) appeared on 20 different sites, theoretically, those 20 sites should be returned on the search, all of which info contained may vary.

Your case: Well, in case of a email with a company tag, you can go to company, do a search of personnel (ie: If your [email protected], go to ibm and search personnel...of course this less applicable because due to number of employees, might not have such, but, smaller company would. Furthermore, while it might not return, you could try then searches such as "joe blow+ibm), which might return any projects worked on, or, social sites where email address appears and individual listed employment /profession.

Now, real life example (true, I did it yesterday......), want to email someone and forgot their ISP...couldn't remember if they are aol,yahoo,comcast, etc, etc....but, I knew was, let's say "Joeblow3@_____", so, I just entered joeblow3+email..........I got the returns on search, got the email, and, with it, got, again, list of many sites where a member, forums, etc, etc, etc.....

You work the searches to suit what your after, all you need is "enough".

I think if you rework your search and terms you'll pull up everything ...

Edit: And, of course from then on, easy to do much more expansive searches for a couple bucks, if you want, depending on your motive....(I've always had a source for that kind of stuff, so....but, lot of public sources pretty cheap....I could add a comment, but, would be on another level and not sure something I should share anyway...in regards to knowing who your dealing with ...I've always made it a point to, and, also to make sure they know that I know everything...(ie: so, if a problem with money,etc....)
