Response when I answered an ad on Trulia asking why this gorgeous four-bedroom house in Carlsbad (real place) was listed as so much lower than the going rate:

Hello Removed. ~Bubbles,

The reason our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to Atlanta GA, I will be away with my family for at least 6 to 7 years, because of the love We have for our home, We have decided not to sell our house since we only have few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more in regards me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (18yrs) who attends University in GA as a medical student, she has a lot going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist us in the house work. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Atlanta GA. We will be very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a person who is clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to do with dirty...

Numerous scammers use the same story with variations on the names, cities and reasons for seeking a tenant.

Thankfully, I knew it seemed too good to be true, so I never provided any personal info.

BE CAREFUL!!!
