Rental Scammer Lloyd Jeremy [email protected]

Well, I found another Craigslist rental scam. That makes 2 scams in the last 2 days. The "move to London with my wife" spiel can be found at the bottom of the post.

Hi,
Could I confirm if the condo is still available? If it is do you have number and a time I can call you at?

Thank you for contacting regarding the 1Bedroom 1Bathroom apartment for rent. It is still available for rent, fully furnished with fully equipped kitchen, walking distance to public trans, shopping, recreation and access lane. It is located on the Richards Street of Vancouver.

Kindly send a reply message to [email protected] for more information.

Regards!

I searched for the SGS Group here under Rental Scams and found a near identical story from 2011 also located on Richards Street!

Hello RenterBeware,

100% scam. The scammer is using a re-direct phone number that can be answered any where in the world. He is pretending to have a UK number. He is more than likely in West Africa or Malaysia.
