I am a web designer in the Los Angeles area and my Craigslist accounts went dead.in desperation I found a website called PVAplant.com that promised ten Craigslist accounts for $50. The link was a SPONSORED link on Google, so I felt as though it was semi-legitamate.
I was still leery of the website, and sent a message via the site's contact form — ten minutes later I got this cheery response.
Hi there
We are available now, so if you need some accounts please feel free to
order them.
We would be pleased to deliver them the fastest way possible
Kind Regards,
pvaplant.com team
Then I made the big mistake and ordered the accounts, sending my $50 to a person by the name of Rafael Peter (I found out his name through the PayPal invoice)
After scamming me out of my money, I got another response from Rafael Peter asking if I planned to order more, etc... But then I never heard from the company again. The website has been on and off-line over the past few days, and there is still no response. This is the first time that I have been scammed, and I'm usually very smart... But the crooks at PVAplant.com fooled me.
Don't let them fool you! Their testimonials page seems convincing: http://www.pvaplant.com/testimonials and after Googling the various FAKE testimonials, I found out that they have a second website at craigslist-accounts.net
I am through with Craigslist and I'm through with scammers. If you are searching for Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts (or PVAs as they are called) then BEWARE. You will see that no one lists phone numbers, and this is a dead giveaway. A little investigating turned up that these guys might be in Latvia! Look out.
