A few months ago we identified the top 10 apartment ad spammers at Craigslist. As you might expect, they’re all Chicago rental services a/k/a apartment locators a/k/a apartment finders.
Chicago’s sleazy rental services set out to confuse and frustrate you into using their so-called “services” by running many 1,000s of repetitive ads at Craigslist, in clear violation of Craigslist’s terms of service. You have to wonder why anyone would buy into the notion that they’ll save time by using a rental service that deliberately set out to waste their time.
Use our single-click Craigslist spam reducer to save time. Start your Craigslist apartment search by clicking YoChicago’s Craigslist spam reducer and you’ll eliminate more than 10,000 ads from the top six spammers on our list.
