It's strange to see so many negative responses and bad experiences here. I've had a lot of CL encounters, some of them anonymous one-off hookups, some repeated months or years later, some have become trusted and lasting friends and/or fuckbuddies. The latest one, a couple of weeks ago, was with a guy who made contact though LPSG as well as CL. I honestly can't think of a single really bad experience. No violence, no scams, no bad hygiene, no infections. I'll be the first to declare I've been lucky. The initial e-mail contact is a selection process in itself: if the guy is open and articulate, declares likes and dislikes, answers your questions and tells you something about himself, you're on pretty safe ground.
