We found a home to rent on craigslist and were told that the family will be in Nigeria for 6 years so we needed to send a money gram for a $500 security deposit and he would send us the keys. Then, we were told to pay the first months rent of $600 before he could send the keys. Then, we were told that they needed more money to secure a place for them to live in Nigeria so they would need an additional 2 months rent ($1200). THEN, we were told that they needed an additional $600 for utilities after we moved out. We finally thought we would have the keys, but THEN we were told that he needed an additional $500 for customs fees to get the keys to us and they would pay us back $700. All the while we were told that we would get a month free for our troubles and he would compensate us for all the fees that we had to pay to send the money grams (which was almost $100 in and of itself).
