An average Craigslist scammer makes about $1,000 each month or year, says the scammer. The scammer tells InfoWorld’s John Sutter that Craigslist has fairly good advice for avoiding scams in the first place. Sutter interviewed the scammers for the first time and posted several items that he really did want to sell. He set the sale price high so that real buyers would be less likely to respond, but greedy scammers might take the bait. One of the scammers agreed to be interviewed via a chat client I had not used before.”]
