This website is a "Craigsecure" website and is supposed to check the age and sex offender status of an individual before allowing them to contact the person for whom the webpage highlights.
I understand the risk factor for people meeting over the internet - no more than meeting a blind date - but I filled out the information including CC info. Once finished I was switched to some porn site and informed that I had a 24 hr free membership - it took me 30 min to cancel it - but after I canceled it there were charges from 3 companies on my card totaling 117.56.
It took me two days of effort to cancel the card, report the unauthorized charges, make a police report and get a new CC. My bet is that the scammers will never be charged and the cost of the scam will just be passed on to CC holders in the form of new or higher fees and interest rates.
