How do I reply to a Craigslist ad with no contact information? ›

When you reply directly from Craigslist, your email address will be visible to the recipient. To reply anonymously, you need to create a free Web-based email address, which does not contain identifiable information.

Contacting Someone on Craigslist

To reply to a Craigslist post, just click the reply button. To use your device's default email app, select the first link. Otherwise, select the web-based email you use (like Gmail or Yahoo) or copy and paste the email address at the bottom of the window into a new email manually.

Set up an account

Craigslist uses email obfuscation to protect your actual email address from exposure. When you click on the response button in the Craigslist ad, the site generates for you a Craigslist email address. When the other user responds to your message using this address, you receive the message into your real email address.

You can sell items on Craigslist, just like classified ads in newspapers, for free — you don't even need a Craigslist account.

There are ways to try and obscure your true identity by changing the "From" field and whatnot, but the email header information might reveal your email address even if you changed the "From" field.

Always use a proxy email address or phone number

You can provide a phone number for your posting so that users can contact you by calling or via texting. The "show my phone number" box must be checked in order to enter a phone number. The "phone calls OK" checkbox will display the word "call" before your phone number on your posting.

How do you catch a scammer on Craigslist? ›
