So someone grabbed the data points and photos from my CraigsList ad for my Nob Hill 2BR condo listing and reposted it as an insanely cheap rental. I know this scam-- it's a 'cash for keys deal that started surfacing a month or so ago in the Bay Area.
I found out because these poor people started calling me to ask about the $850/month unit for rent at 900 Bush. It was very confusing until a woman faxed me a copy of the ad (it had already been flagged for removal by the time she tried to send the link). Since I never saw it online, I'm not sure how my name and number was affiliated with it, but the Yahoo! email address for inquiry was defnitely NOT mine.
Here's an old posting about the scam on my Examiner Page from a month ago.
CraigsList scam-- when "cash for keys" is a really bad idea
I emailed the scammer and told him to stop. We'll see if it works. . .
