When I was selling my house in 2013 this happened. One Friday night a man knocked on my door and asked if my house was for rent. He told me that he saw my house for rent on Craigslist for 900/month. I could get about $1,700 a month. He already answered the ad, and got a reply.
The person replying claimed that he was on a missions trip in Nigeria. also, he was to send him via Western Union the first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and a $900 deposit.
The Craigslist ad used my house’s “For Sale Listing,” in their rental ad.
