This article out of Nashville shows that it’s not just people who are looking to rent who have to worry about scammers.
The person in the article was trying to sublet her apartment on craigslist and received three money orders from a potential renter that came to $3000. The renter claimed that they were doing work in South Africa and were coming back to the States and needed a place to stay.
The article doesn’t say but I’m sure 3 grand was not the asking price and I can almost guarantee the money orders were fake and the difference was requested to be wired back to Africa.
So not only do you have to worry about scammers that say they’ve left for Africa, you also have to worry about the ones that say they’re coming back.
Whos saying what?
