beware of the craigslist license plate killer!

[vintageracer]

It has become common knowledge that by showing your license plate on craigslist will get you killed. Or even worst it could possibly get that 1971 ford pinto ripped off and then you will be out $200.00 for the price of the car. So here is what you need to do to avoid murder from the craigslist license plate killer. When taking pictures strategically place your thumb or index finger in the picture to hide the license plate or completely remove the plate and put it in a safe and lock it. If you don't have a safe you can buy one at Cabelas for a $1000.00 dollars. Trust me a $1000.00 dollars is a small price to pay to keep you safe from the Craigslist license plate killer.

I am thankful to see the overly cautious and paranoid people on craigslist using their finger to keep their family safe from the craigslist license plate killer...I know saying paranoid is a strong word to use but seriously is it paranoia if the craigslist license plate killer is really looking for your license plate so he can kill you or even worst.....steal that pristine Pro-Touring car you want $500.00 dollars for?

Here is another very good tip when you put in your ad the phone number where you can be contacted at use a fake number because there is a new maniac on the loose he is..........The Craigslist phone number killer, he will use the internet to find out where you live by using your phone number so never put your correct phone number in the ad or you will be sorry.

If by some chance someone off Craigslist is able to make contact with you and tells you he is interested in buying the car you have for sale give him a fake address and call the police immediately and inform them you have caught the craigslist license plate killer...you will be a hero and Fox news will interview you about your bravery.

My main concern is Alice at the DMV. She has total access to my plate number and I just don't trust her....at all!

Be safe out there and know that the craigslist license plate killer is just waiting for some naive person to screw up and show his license plate on Craigslist....Don't let that person be you.

If you flag this PSA you either hate America or you are the Craigslist license plate killer...And you probably hate bacon too.

Some people are just a Lil slow I guess......

Or when you meet in a public place they'd get the plate then . You're never to safe. Please see what happened to my high school prom dates husband. Google Tim Bosma, Dellen Millard

Here is why you shouldn’t.

First of all there are a ton of web crawlers on Craigslist’s looking for cell phone number to add to auto dialers. Post your number and I will guarantee you will get more crap calls.

If you post your license plate I can also look up your full name and address, and if I send you an email asking if you still have it you will reply back and now I have your email address as well.

Now I have your full name, address, email, and cell number. At this point someone can just sell your full info like a bad used cars salesman for a couple bucks or start trying to see if I can reset some passwords and get into your bank account.

Most hacking these days is just social engineering.

Not in california. I wouldn't buy a car with covered plate as clearly the only reason to not show it was it was used in a crime, or is stolen,
and they are trying to sell it quickly before the police catch up to them....

Maybe the system's are different but here in Canada you can't just find that info. It's on a gov site . I've been told that you can't even bride an employee as they monitor your work and your inquires
