One of our agents was called by clients who saw that a house he had listed for sale was in the Rentals Section of Craigslist. Not only was it advertised as a rental, (which it wasn't) but the monthly rental was only $950, with an equivalent deposit.
Wow! A real bargain if it weren't a total scam, considering that the house was over
2000 square feet and in a top school district. This is the second tome that he has had this happen with one of his listings, and even though he removed the ads, I wonder how many people fall for the "send me the deposit and rental agreement, and I will send you the keys" line. More local money headed to Nigeria from unsuspecting victims.
