Hello all,

Is LikeHome Properties, with email addresses @lh-mail.co.uk a known scam?

??? To accept payment via PayPal doesn't mean that it's not a scam. Spoof emails claiming to be from PayPal are common and the scammer usually claims that PP will hold the deposit / keys until both parties are happy.
The deposit is then usually paid by transfer such as Western Union or Moneygram and your money is gone.

The fact that you're dealing with someone supposedly from the UK on Craigslist and the non-existent domain name are ringing alarm bells immediately.

Please either post the details of the emails from this person here (ideally with headers) or forward to the email address in my signature.

We can help you better with more information but for now, it looks like a scam!
