Not sure what it’s like in other cities, but recently on the weekends it seems there is some not so clever person putting up fake ads in the “free” section. I am not sure if it’s just some bored kid or some frustrated scrapper that keeps showing up too late for pickups etc… If it’s the latter, that person could better use their resources (time and what little brainpower they do have) into figuring out how to collect more, quicker and collect the right scrap etc…

I can easily spot these fake ads – to me they are painfully obvious, but maybe some CL scrappers don’t see it for whatever reason – maybe reading too fast etc… and are sent on wild goose chases. I assume this isn’t a new thing?
