Clarification Needed on UBG

I was reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide and I had a question on a paragraph in chapter 7. This is what it says;

"You'll also find new investors marketing deals via Craigslist or other sites, but these are deals that they have no interest in. Like in the previous example, these people are lying about deals to get other investors who might be interested in them. If you get busted lying about a deal, you can rest assured that you'll never do business with those folks who discover it."

The previous examples that this paragraph is talking about are misrepresentations by a new investor in order to get a buyers list. They weren't being honest. I was taking this particular paragraph to mean that Craigslist and other similar sites shouldn't be used for advertising properties for wholesale because of it being construed as a tool for compiling a buyers list only.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.
