Someone must be out to get Anna O'Malley. She was horrified to discover that someone posted a fake ad on Craigslist claiming she was "a real hottie looking to earn extra cash to pay off Christmas debt." And it listed her phone number!
The Daily News explains that O'Malley learned about the ad when she was "awakened last week to more than a dozen calls." Ugh, we can unfortunately imagine the calls. One of the callers was nice enough to flag the ad for her to see, but it was taken down before she could see if any other personal information was there.
And Craigslist refused to turn over the text of the ad to her until the Daily News started asking questions. Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster gave the paper the following statement: "We hope Ms. O'Malley will decide to pursue this, in which case we will look forward to assisting law enforcement in bringing the perpetrator to justice." Last month, someone posted ads on Craigslist advertising the sale of a Porsche - only to set up meetings where interested customers were robbed and beaten.
Oh, and O'Malley did change her phone number.
