This is the final continuation of the Craigslist Debacle.
"Hello?" I answered the phone calmly.
A voice answers back, "Yea, I'm calling about the 4runner."
"Yea, well, it's not for sale. Someone is playing a prank on me. Sorry."
"Well, what about the TV?" he asks.
I wait a second before asking, "Umm...What TV?"
His reply, "The TV, is it for sale? Or is that a joke too? It says on here that you have a 52 inch flat screen TV you're selling too."
"No, my TV is not for sale either." I hang up and look at Chris, "You aren't gonna believe this."
"What's that?" He asks.
I'm too busy checking Craigslist, for another advertisement with my name on it, to answer him. Seconds later I'm staring at what only means more phone calls. I turn around and show it to Chris. An advertisement with my TV is on there. Same background, leaving town, must sell now. And instead of being what it's worth, the mad man posted my TV for half of its value.
I write another email to Craigslist about the harassment, and try to calm down. My phone keeps ringing, but I'm at the point where I don't even care. I put it on silent and let it be. Nobody is going to fuck with me if I have anything to say about it. Fifteen minutes later I check out the site again, this time for anything that can be traced back to me. All I can do is laugh when I find an advertisement with my name on it regarding my XBOX. That just means that I need to send another email. I look at my phone and see that someone has texted me.
I look at it, not thinking anything about it because I've only received phone calls from people since this whole thing began. It stated, "Hey, if your 4runner is in that good of condition I will give you twice the price." I think to myself, "The texting has begun, fuck me."
A few hours pass and I realize that my phone hasn't really been going off in a while. I get back on Craigslist and look up the ads again. But this time I can't find them. I look everywhere. They've been pulled from the website. I am all smiles at this point, hesitantly waiting for another ad to come up, but nothing does. I receive a few phone calls throughout the night, but by the next day it's back to normal, and my caller ID shows familiar numbers once again.
I''m hanging out with Chris again, and tell him, "If I ever find out who did this, I'm gonna punch him right in the fucking face."
