I responded to an ad on craigslist about an apartment for rent in Oakland, CA. Here's what I got back. I was stupid enough to provide my phone number, and address, but not my ss # or anything. Now the scammer is calling and emailing.
Hello
Thanks for your interest, i am very sorry for the late response, it was due to my wife illness but thank GOD she is getting better. I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business. However, My name is Ike Wolfe, I own the house located at (448 Elysian Fields Drive, Oakland CA 94605). Due to my job as a missionary I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the house and i will be here for (4-5 years).. How ever, the initial plan was to sale out the house which I tried, but some times the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website, that is the old advert. Because of this reason and more we need a responsible person (With good credit) that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money, but want it to be clean and for you to take of it as if it were yours The rent is $1300 and $700 for Security Deposit For this 3BR/2.5BAth/1,800 sqft... Utilities such as Air Conditioner Dishwasher Walk-in Closet Refrigerator Vaulted Ceilings Washer/Dryer Cable etc are all included in the rent... Here is my phone number (Personal Info Removed) OR v
