Howto protect yourself from fraud on personals sites
Violet Blue talks about web privacy for those using Craig’s List or other personal ad systems (now is as good a time as any to mention that Technorgasmic does not endorse any subscription based personal ad system - Craig’s List is the only online personal ad site we recommend).
A few weeks ago I blogged about The Craigslist Experiment, where a creepy guy named Jason Fortuny posted a fake, explicit Craigslist ad from the point of view of a female submissive looking for rough sex, and then he maliciously posted all of the personal information on each and every one of the respondents to an editable online wiki. Since then there has been at least one copycat — miraculously, Michael Crook is of even lower social caliber, baiting his respondents for further personal information. Reactions around the blogosphere have been strong, even in many ways going uncomfortably far in personal attacks on Fortuny.
