Room for Rent and other rental scams
by qtpi1969 Mon May 30, 2011 2:11 am
I too recieved this scam from craigslist. I do not trust craigslist because all I have ever dealt with there is scammers.
They should either be forced to become a secure/monitored site or be SHUT down!!

I replied to an ad for a friend that said:


May 27, 2011 ... $700 / 3br - Nice 3 Bedroom Ranch Featuring 2 Full Baths, ... 4260 Main Street, Skokie IL 60076. Nice 3 Bedroom Ranch Featuring 2 Full Baths ...
chicago.craigslist.org › north chicagoland › housing › apts/housing for rent


I knew it had to be too good to be true. But I got this reply (same as yours):


Thanks for your email.. The house is still available. I decided to rent the house because we are going to spend more time here in Abuja, about 3 years.. Let me start by introducing myself. I must confess that I am very new in this landlord business..However, My name is Kristen Changelon. I own the house, Due to my job as a Medical Doctor, I works for American Red Cross Lutheran Hospital Donor Center, and now i have been transfer to Abuja to work in a branch in Abuja. We spent less time in the States so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when We knew how long we are going to stay in Abuja that We decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was to sale out the house. which we tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell. The utilities are included in the rent, because of this reason and more we need a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.

Information about the house below:
The rent is: $700 Security Deposit: $600
