  1. Insisting on a public meeting place
  2. Taking extra precautions when purchasing or selling expensive items
  3. Informing friends and family members of your plans and taking someone with you if at all possible.
  4. Keeping your cell phone with you at all times
  5. Listen to your gut instincts.

Make sure that if you are planning any Craigslist transactions you follow the above guidelines and keep safety in mind.
