RealTown's RealTalk

I have personally experienced scams on Craigslist. I tried listing a rental
property on Craigslist and received a handful of responses - 2 of which were
scams. The first one was from a gentleman relocating from England that from
initial appearances seemed legit. I began a correspondence with him.
Shortly after his inquiry, I received an inquiry from someone else overseas
that was almost identical in content and circumstances. This immediately
shot up a red flag. I cut off all correspondence with both and proceeded to
rent my property the more traditional way. -Stephanie Bryant

I advertised a rental on Craigslist and also received overseas inquiries.
One man said his family was moving to town and wanted to get set up. Then he
cancelled at the last minute before any deposit was made. Can Stephanie or
any others in RealTown give specifics on what content and circumstances they
encountered with potential tenants?
