I think what you're suggesting is a bad idea. Your going to get robbed, some STD, or worse. It's probably a good thing none are responding.
If you insist on such risky behavior, what is the message your sending? That may be the problem.

Craigslist? Even if they are real dude that's some desperate measures. Make sure you triple wrap it and do a voice check before you meet. I'm sure they aren't all scammers. Do an image search, send out massive emails. If they send you an email back linking you to something or their pic shows up all over the internet, there's your answer. You could post an ad of your own, don't know where that would take you.
If it's ho's you seek you should go to a site like collarme or backpage. Why don't you find yourself a decent woman who wouldn't be posting shit anywhere like that?

Well as some one that has experienced them myself? Yes! probably 90% or more. I did meet a couple of nice ladies though, they were in the strictly platonic section and in no hurry.
Spam and scammers are a big problem on C/L.

they are men, looking for those interested in pictures of the 'wives' who are rejecting them... the pics of yourself that you send to their 'wives', are then used- - differently

Maybe it is where and what you want?! I put an ad on strictly platonic and met a few decent people. One became a very good friend. But, if you are advertising for sex, what the hell do you think you will get!!! Angels??? Or maybe you are getting escorts and hookers!? Why dont you just put your own ad on craigs...horney jerk looking for a free lay. No ties, no commitments, no cash. STDs possible! SHEESH!

I know at least one person who sticks to craigslist because he's butt ugly and that's the only he will ever meet a real woman.
He was talking to me about screwing a pre-op tranny too. Because butt secks is kinda important to him. I don't think he went thru with that though.

There is a Mexican guy spreading aids via Craigslist meets. Its kind of a desperate way to meet ppl I think. I realize this is date hookup but here you have ppl looking for more than sex and if you talk long enough you can figure out who the skeezers are. I cross reference cl to see if I recognize anyone that wants to date me on there. Saved me from meeting a guy who had his d*ck up on there looking for random sex. I do admit to perving to the pics and scenarios on there, sometimes I chat with the perves to intensify the action but I would NEVER meet someone from cl.

I would say the greater majority are fake scams used to get people to subscribe to mostly fake dating sites. Here are some rules not mentioned to filter out fakes. If they give you another link, or have a reply less than a sentence, or repeat your post, then they are fake. Those fake ones will also have pictures of misrepresenting women.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
in your description, I would reccomend putting a full body, PG rated picture, with your face blotched out, so no one can steal it and use it elsewhere, but people get a general Idea of you. also, tell people in your description to put something random, such as their favorite color in the subject line, and tell them without it, you will delete their email, and most real people actually do that, occasionally but rarely a scammer does that.
BOTTEM LINE
Craigslist= LOTS OF SCAMMERS, but not all, I have met some legitamate women with craigslist, but it takes a lot of messages to send out and posts to make

I never knew that Craigs list, even had Personal ad's. I don't deal with Craigs list much. I think it would be a big risk to date someone you found on Craigs list. Date sites are scarey, enough.

That's right, I said I would unblock you if you were willing. Not that I'd already unblocked you, big daddy style (even though BD now has me blocked). That would be idiotic IMO.
I know you weren't flagging me, so I'm attempting to wave the whit flag here.
