It's a malware link. DO NOT click on it for any reason
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2373962,00.asp - is about Twitter but the scammers are using this on Craigslist, Facebook, etc "Seeing Goog.gl links pop up on your Twitter feed? Don't click on them; they might direct you to malicious sites. A number of tweets containing only the link "goo.gl/R7f68″ are showing up on Twitter, but clicking the link will direct users to malware-laden sites, according to The Next Web. As the blog notes, that link has shown up in other number configurations, however, so best not to click on any suspicious links at the moment." 99% of people on Craigslist personals seem to be scammers and fake profiles Never click on any link sent to you by anyone on CL If you already clicked on it, you need to run a scan for viruses AND malware Ads |
