He is at it again!
This time under the name Karl Andr ([email protected])

Trying to rent out apartments in Amsterdam via Craigslist. I got the exact same email from him.

Thanks so much for all the info! Otherwise I might have been a victim too.

Hi,

This Christopher Nigel Wenham person is also at the copenhagen housing craigslist; and I'm afraid many other people are in the site too.
I've been scammed by him. I don't know how I didn't check "his" passport number on the internet and find this site before agreeing the payment. How stupid.
I'm looking for a flat in copenhagen and now all the flat offers in the craigslist site sound like scam to me.
They offer the same kind of descriptions, all owners have been transferred to Romania, Nigeria, UK or some other country and have the keys to their beautiful and incredibly good deal apartments with them.
Even after scamming me he's even trying it again! He's saying that I will get the keys if I send 2 more month rents upfront because he owes money to a man that has now the keys and has just travelled to Nigeria. Yeah right! Bulls***! He even fakes to have a lawyer and sends you e-mails from his fake lawyer's fake e-mail address. Shameful!

Watch out and I hope everyone else takes a bit more of care than I did!
