Does Craigslist Operate Legitimate Verification Services?
I recently replied to a post on Craigslist that was listed under the Personals-->casual encounters section. I received a response that appeared to be from a real person (correct spelling, no grammatical errors).The email also contained a link to a verification site calling itself "Craigs-hookups/ A free CL service" The website asks you to enter your CC info with the promise that your CC will never be billed. (Obviously it was a scam attempt)Here is my question:Does Craigslist opperate any legitimate verification websites or services that are designed for individuals using the Personals sections of CL???

No, it does not. You take your chances when you answer an ad (or even when you advertise) on Craigslist. You may want to look over http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.
