Room for Rent and other rental scams
by bigdreamer72089 Tue Aug 21, 2012 6:34 am
I got an email just like this too. I am in Pittsfield Ma.

I emailed his craigslist email and he responded from [email protected] - which is actually the name of the person who owns the property, so he/she must have been collecting information about it (maybe it was on the market at one point or for rent). Also, as soon as he responded to me, he took down the posting.


Just want to thank everyone for posting, I was skeptical (too good to be true AND he called it a 2 bedroom in the email when the posting listed 3) and when my boyfriend googled the program this blog came up! So happy I saw this before I gave them any information.
