I saw a house for rent on craigs list with an address of 6328 66th Lane N Pinellas Park for 850 a mth, it was vague and showed no pictures. I used google earth to view the property and found it to be ok so I sent an email through CL. I got an immediate reply that said 800 to hold it, first, last 1600 and 250 deposit. I noticed the figures were off by 50 per month but I thought I'll take the 800... First red flag in a scam, they play on YOUR larceny/greed (old sales tactic) get you to hurry up with a transaction before the other party has time to think about their mistake, giving YOU a finacial gain of some sort... Then came this, I explained I had bad credit with no rental issues ever, without ever even asking my name to verify what I was telling him he says, no problem, do you still want it? Of course I said yes but that I was shopping from out of town and would come over and meet with him monday to seal the deal.
