Craigslist Personals: Ads You Should Flag Immediately Type 3
The third type of ad that usually guarantee you found a scammer is shown in the screen shot below. This ad is pretty simple. The girl wants to give you everything a guy would want and get really nothing in return. There is nothing wrong with that. But none of the critical personal information is available in the ad. What I mean is that other than the age, there is nothing that says "human" in this ad.
The real deal breaker and is the criteria for identifying this ad as a scammer bot is the fact that there is no location.
Fact is, most real people put down their city. They want to find someone that is close to them. Whether a person realize it or not, subconsciously, everyone is looking for convenience. A person close by means you'll have more fun, more often, more conveniently scheduled.
Scammer bots likes to avoid putting down a city, because they'll get more responses from a much wider area. People who may not respond to ads outside a specific city may be enticed to respond to an unspecified city. Don't fall into this trap. Flag this type of ad immediately.
If it is a real person? What's the chances the person is in your city? He/she should learn how not to get flagged (see "How to Avoid Getting Flagged?" article).

Screen shot below shows another version of the same scam. The only difference is that the scammer added a few photos to entice you to respond.
