Yeah seems too good to be true. First one looks like it was literally shot through a screen door, second one looks like it was printed out and scanned back in.
Someone took photos of their computer screen. If you want to verify that it's not a scam, ask for a picture of them holding their monitor with today Google News website displayed.

It's possible, but I don't think I've ever seen a screen with such atrocious dot pitch/disinclination lines.
The past few days has seen a huge spike in scam CL ads, usually ATVs, UTVs, Kubota tractors, other construction equipment.
I've seen a ton of scams like that pop up. Cell camera shot of a Web picture. Usually multiple shots of the same picture. I see that fuzzy shot of a monitor, and I'm already on to the next ad.
It confuses me how someone could have enough working brain cells to put together a CL ad, but not enough to simply right-click/save-as on a picture. Or hell - just do a screen capture or Snip-it.

The person that has to take a picture of his monitor has an old 4:3 flat screen from 2004. It might even say Compaq in the corner.

Supposedly that's to confound Google Images searches, or possibly some sort of mechanism in Craigslist that auto-flags duplicate listings.
