What is up with listings like this? Born to Code- Entry Level Java programmers wanted It sounds like the type of job I want to apply to, but then again it looks like a scam when there's no company name and a vague description.

The e-mail address has a domain of protingent.com. They are a staffing company, so you're likely not to find out unless you ask them.
The 'blind ad' job postings by employers on Craigslist does get you to scratching your head as to why they're ashamed of revealing who they are; however, it could just be they don't want people calling or walking in the door unannounced to ask about a job opening.
If I were to submit a resume to one of the blind ads, I would not list personal information such as address and phone number; just my name (and they could reply to my email if interested)....not knowing who they are makes one cautious about giving out home address and phone.

Setting aside the scams, this (bolded) IS the most common reason. When I hired for my business I never put my business name in the ads as I learned the hard way. You can direct people to initially contact only by email until you're blue in the face and specifically say, "no walk-ins or 'phone calls, please" and as soon as you put in the name of the business it's a surefire guarantee that many applicants will do exactly that!
I didn't need anyone's SS# or any sensitive information on a first approach - just a demonstration that they could follow simple directions (!), had some relevant experience and could provide contact information.
Craigslist is a mixed bag of relevant job postings and questionable postings. It takes caution to wisely navigate through the listings. There are good jobs posted on craigslist.

Thinking about craigslist for a moment, do their listings get moderated? I notice one job has dozens of post for twelve weeks training to become trained in that position or discount programs instead of actual job listings.
