Human: I've been hearing about a lot of people getting scammed on Craigslist. How can I avoid it? Assistant: 
The best way to avoid getting scammed is to do your research before you post an ad, and be sure to meet in person with the seller before agreeing to any transaction. Additionally, make sure that you're using a secure payment method like PayPal or Venmo so that you don't have to send money directly to the seller. Finally, never pay for anything upfront without seeing the product first.
