    I nearly fell for this scam. It directs me to a site to install a craigslist app that has allegedly been personalized for me. I am warned not to share the link to a file ending in .apk with others as the app is tied to my account. Luckily, when I tried to install it, my android device did not allow me to install apps from an unrecognized source.
