CRAIGSLIST SCAM Listing Ad of the Day * People Magazine would be PROUD of ME!

By
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

I'm sorry - did someone say BLOCK CONSTRUCTION?  I've reported this to Craigslist; however, I am wondering how many will realize it is not a HOUSE * the flag on the top is not the US flag and that GARAGE is spelled INCORRECTLY.

I think I saw this building in an OLD Jason Bourne movie, didn't I?

Good catch Wallace!  They also misspelled "click."  Sure scam - I am guessing some Hungo/Scotch guy out there trying to make a buck.  Beware, that minority is dangerous.

yep, scams on Craigslist. One of the office workers at a previous company almost got pulled into a "rent-so-low-it's-a-fake" deal. Fortunately our Broker caught it in time.

Craigslist is an AWESOME real estate resource...it has to be used correctly with knowledge and not by drive-by real estate agents

This is a new one for me. People will be fooled.  Too bad and the only way to stop it is to publicize these scams.
