"Most of us have used Craigslist at some point to buy or sell something, and most of the time, it\u2019s legit. But not always.And authorities said a lot of times the first they\u2019ll hear of it is when you fall victim.From magic body enhancers, to body parts themselves -- you can find just about anything for sale on Craigslist.\u201CEach second of every hour of every day there\u2019s constantly people that are putting new information and new things on the internet and unfortunately we can\u2019t police them all,\u201D said Lt. Jeremy Landis of Ohio State Patrol.Landis sat down with WLWT News 5 to sift through some of the strangest and most suspicious offers listed in the tri-state.A Christmas lingerie photography session, for example, appeared. You pose, this person shoots and the pictures are yours for $40.\u201CBuyer beware,\u201D Landis said. \u201CI mean, this doesn\u2019t appear to be a legit company. It\u2019s just someone possibly with a camera who\u2019s willing to take pictures.\u201DAnother example: a motorcycle for sale -- but without a title? Landis called the seller, who said it was for track-use only.Another listing advertises erotic companionship. No telling what the seller means by that, but Landis said a lot of times there\u2019s more to it.\u201CThere\u2019s nothing wrong with her offering her companionship to someone, but there\u2019s a game that\u2019s played, so to speak, in the inner circle of this and this is what starts into a lot of prostitution rings,\u201D Landis said.WLWT asked Landis if someone can sell body parts via Craigslist. He said that to his knowledge, a person cannot.If you think you\u2019ve come upon a scam on Craigslist, you can click on the \u201CAvoiding Scams\u201D link on their site.
