Are most Craigslist deals a scam?

[Steven Barr]

Has anyone ever bought a property off Craigslist to flip?

We are looking right now, and there are some great deals. However, no one is answering their phone, and we have noticed that we are calling the same 5 numbers for about 20 different properties

Most of the phone numbers do not belong to anyone. But we did find one of the numbers was attached to an actual person. We then looked at property tax records, and the owners name did not match up with the owner of the phone number listed. Also the details of the bed count and sq ft were incorrect

Seems to be all scams, but I have never done this before, and hoping someone on here knows how to navigate Craigslist more successfully than I do!

Thanks
