I. Introduction “The risk’s extent of Craigslist”

A. (Attention Getter) The victim Abdullah Al Kadi.

B. (Credibility) Abdullah Al Kadi is a friend of mine.

C. (Thesis)

· Staying safe on Craigslist by fallowing the instructions.

D. (Transition): Abdullah Al Kadi, Electrical Student.

II. Body

A. Such a huge element to run business easily.

· Displaying such as “Jobs, housing, goods, services, romance, local activities, advice - just about anything really”. (Factsheet, 2014)

· “Craigslist users post well over 80 million classified ads each month (including reposts and renewals)”. (Factsheet, 2014)

B. Abdullah Al Kadi, 23 years old, disappeared. “Abdullah, he’s a man with a child['s] heart, you know?” Aljandao said, at times struggling to talk. “He loved to help people, support his friend[s]. He support[ed] his sisters, brothers, mostly his mom. She’s the world for him. He adored her. He loved her, respected her.” (M.Arvizu, 2014)

· Trust unknown people. “Police are searching for a missing Cal State Northridge student who vanished after selling his car on Craigslist”. (L. Suter, 2014)

· Going in himself, no backup. “"It is unknown why he left and he did not leave a note”. (L. Suter, 2014)

C. Using Craigslist safely

· Avoid offering personal information. “Never give out financial info (bank account, social security, paypal account, etc)”. (Avoiding Scams, 2014)

· Never arrange meeting at suspicious places. “Tell a friend or family member where you're going”. (Personal Safety, 2014)

· “Set clear guidelines for children about when and how they can reveal information”. (“Get Safe Online,” 2014).

III. Conclusion

A. To conclude my speech I would recommend you to pay attention in using Craigslist.

B. I have gone through what is Craigslist, the homicide of Abdullah Al Kadi and be always safe in this website.

C. Thanks for listening!
