The Highjacking of Craig's List

At one point in time, not so long ago, people used to be able to go on Craig's List and buy things, find jobs, get in touch with people they don't know, but those days seem to have disappeared. I was googling today because of boredom and fell upon some pages listing scams. And it seems a lot of online "schools' and a few insurance companies have been using the job board on Craig's List to trick job hunters into thinking that they have a job opening. When these job hunters send the e-mail for the job, they receive an auto response which sends them to another site where they are asked to fill in their personal information, and then the marketing begins. I just wonder where on the web people can still go to and feel they are in charge of what's going on. If sites like Craig's List which were once user friendly become a tool for robot-ads which take up people's useful time, then the web will slowly lose it's ability to keep people connected. Maybe it's just me, but the people at Craig's List need to monitor a little better to make sure things are legitimate. Oh, by the way, who on earth is excited by Rosie O'Donnell's return to television? I sure am not.
