Http 403 And No Customer Support

I have been using craigslist for years and never scammed nobody. But I have dealt with some real scum on craigslist site. Recently a replied to two ads on craigslist on GIGs. Both replied and sent me Bogus checks that are no good. They were to have adverts installed on your vehicle and be paid. One for OPUS Winery and the other for red bull. now I am being blocked on craigslist.

Sorry for your problems. This is actually a common complaint against Craigslist, whose administration leaves a lot to be desired.

Craigslist says, "Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation-for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms."

(It's actually even worse. You may want to take a look at "Craigslist's Dirty Little Secrets Revealed.")

You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.

I would change ip address and set up another account. If you aren't spamming ads and getting flagged that way...so long as you use a different email account and phone number, you should be fine.
