Mother Finds Own Child For Sale Online:

A woman from Abington, Mass. received a tip that her 7-month-old son’s picture was being used by scammers on craigslist. The ad said that a baby boy was available for adoption. When she contacted the scammers they sent her a picture of her own son and said that the boy was Canadian but living in a Cameroon orphanage.

The scammers also said that the adoption could start with a scant $300.

The picture of the boy was taken from the family’s blog.

The FBI had Yahoo shut down the account of the scammers but as we all know that won’t stop them.

And do people really use craigslist to adopt?

    Another reason why I think that people should avoid posting pictures of thier children unless it’s in a password-protected site that only friends &amp family can view.
