Where can I find legitimate freelance writing job listings

Where can I find legitimate freelance writing job listings?
I'm looking to 'break into' freelance writing. I know there are a lot of scams out there for work-at-home or writing jobs...how can I tell if a job or job site is legitimate? Do you know of any sites or listings that *are* real, or anywhere else I can look? I've seen some that link to craigslist, but I am rather suspicious for some reason.

Yes you can make money by freelance writing jobs. Craigslist is a good resource to find freelance article writing jobs. As per my experience 95% of craigslist posting are not scam because it is a free service and other freelance jobs website charges the job provider 5% or 10% of project fee. So people prefer to post on crigslist. If you want some good freelance jobs website then please check following pages to know more about freelance writing jobs.
