Caveat Emptor! (”Let the Renter Beware!”) With the increasing use of advertising methods such as Craigslist, scammers are out to get into your pocketbook. Scammers take real properties that are actually for rent, slash the prices to entice potential rentes to email them about the availability. Then they tell stories about how they are a homeowner who was transferred overseas, and will give you their place very cheap. They will lie to you and tell you all you have to do is wire in the deposit to a bank account somewhere outside the US, typically to countries like Nigeria, and they will send the keys and paperwork. Once you send the money, they are out gone, along with your money.
