Got ripped off by someone on CL
Hey all. I met up with someone on Craigslist who got some sticky fingers when she left. It's a painful lesson that I could normally live with but in this case it was jewelry that had significant sentimental value for my ex who hadn't packed up all her stuff yet. I'm hoping it's at a pawn shop somewhere so I can make some attempt at getting it back.
If anyone wants to help me try to make contact, maybe try to schedule an incall to get a home address or something along those lines, please PM me. I don't want to post any details publicly until after I've had a chance to try to talk to her and recover lost items.
Any help is appreciated, PM me. Thanks.

Beware of this con artist!
She introduced herself to me as Stacy, has also used Aimee, and the guy at her apartment called her Dana. She lives on 4th Street in an apt complex behind the Target shopping center. Phone number is 727-XXX-2625.
She's not a clock watcher because she's in for the long con. She comes across as someone new to this hobby and needing help because of a bill or struggle and is open to spending time as a friend and knows how to make someone feel like there's a chemistry there. She'll tell you that she works at Abbey Health and Rehabilitation so convincingly that maybe she did in fact work there at one point in time. Over time you'll get stories about a mother or step father being ill, or having recently died. I've been able to connect to several other of her victims to compare stories and I'll just say that she's really good at making you want to help her with a place to stay for a few days and even sucker you in for fake wire transfers and opportunities that can cost hundreds of dollars.
She will use every unattended opportunity to fill her purse with your stuff even after you voluntarily gave her cash to help get her electricity back on or whatever bull story she sells.
As of this moment her ad is still up on Craigslist:

Layla. Ripoff artist. Holiday
Well, I guess I should have listened to previous posts about Layla, aka Emily. Another well-known senior member recommended her so I figured she straightened up her act and was now legit. Big time wrong as I just got back from the drive to Holiday after she ripped me off for a $. I saw her last week and all went well and exchanged texts thru the weekend to today. I figured I'd set something up for tonight and everything went fine until I got there. I parked across the street from her crappy trailer in the daycare center parking. She came out to my vehicle and then asked if she could pay the babysitter. Reluctantly I fronted the $ but I figured hey, everything went well last week and I didn't get the vibe she would rip me off. WRONG. She went back in and as I was sitting there waiting for her return, a dude comes out and sits on the porch. Her BF or husband or DB or whomever. As soon as I saw him, I'm like crap, he's doing that waiting for me to come up to the trailer and start something because she ain't coming back. The ripoff has started. I texted and called her phone numerous times and surprise, surprise. No answer. I'm like, damn, should I still go over there and cause a scene? Even though I know someone in LE out there, I'm like ya know, I don't need the hassle of them showing up and then it's their word against mine, etc. Etc. I can handle myself as I play hockey in case the dude started something, but giving him a whupping would only bring the boys in blue and I don't need that. So I took the loss and left. Stupid girl killing sources of income by ripping people off and then thinking no one is going to post about it happening? Guess what Layla, you just lost future income now. And I did talk to my buddy so there will be a watchful eye on her place. I've attached some pics so that you can now recognize her and avoid her. I also know her FB page so if anyone wants that info, mail me. Just no one be as stupid as I was today. NEVER FRONT THE MONEY. EVER.
They never learn sometimes!
Some of the girls play rip the hobbyist and end up on the wrong end of the coin and learn from their mistakes. Others just never catch on and ruin it for themselves and then call begging for forgiveness and want to make it up to you. I have played both situations and after a bad smack in the head I have learned to write the girl off and move forward. I always say she will need me before I will ever need her in this lifetime. These drugs make these girls loyal to nobody. As long as I remember that every single time I will always keep my head on straight.
The other one that the Duffys used to pay is my baby is out of diapers or formula and want to run into their friends house as they sell it cheaper than a grocery store. I just laugh thinking that's a trap and your not coming back if I play your stupid game. I see Capri out there walking again and she was the biggest scam artist going years and years ago and would get alot of guys including me. Capri is dressed rather nice so its hard to tell if she has a job or walking again. I can't imagine her working a real job so I will call it walking again. I have seen her by the Wawa on 38th Ave North.

Never front the money is right.
Always watch your back.
