I live in Spain and find that there is an incredible amount of scam, spam and junk posted on LoQuo. It is not closely monitored like Craigslist is.
In the rentals section, some of the scams involve getting people to call a mobile number or a for pay number about an apartment, when there isn't really an apartment for rent and all you get is a taped message. The advertiser just rakes in the money from the calls. Plus, although there are different sections for room rentals, apartment rentals, agencies and sales, announcers violate the categories all the time and there is little control. Unless you are lucky, you usually have to slog through a lot of irrelevant and misleading stuff.
The jobs scams involve wasting your time on things that are either unpaid internships, pyramid type schemes, sales jobs where you have to invest or buy something, franchises, etc. In other words, there isn't really a job available behind the advert. Plus, people looking for work post in the job vacancies section, but you often can't tell until you click on the advert. Another time waster.
Bottom line is that probably half, maybe more, of the jobs and rentals adverts on LoQuo are useless.
And now the brains at LoQuo have made it even worse, by tryng to get you to pay to bump up your ad, or highlight it or making iot stand out. It's not that the option for those things is bad, but LoQuo sends you spam about this. The end result is that for every advert you put on LoQuo, you end up getting spam directly from LoQuo!
I really wish CraigsList would take off in Spain or that someone would start a site with the same integrity and value.
I think you are alittle off with your overall percentage of scam ads.I use it and I find most ads legit. Maybe, Maybe only 30% of ads are scams.Most of them posted i the personal section where you get misleding photos of women and scam artist from Nigeria. User beware as the saying goes.
The bump up technique is a great idea and maybe there is a little more scrutiny with this.
