This is what a Craigslist SCAM Ad Looks Like

*  The rent is HALF of what it SHOULD BE for the Home

*  Scammers almost ALWAYS use SFRs as bait

*  The description is very GENERIC

*  The e-mail is a NAME w/# in it so the SCAMMERS can keep track of the AD they are SCAMMING From

Dan * MLS systems with "public" option that do NOT allow watermarking are the problem....I no longer place rental listings in our MLS BECAUSE they will get scammed.  My CL listings are all watermarked via my website host

I've had two of my listings hijacked and advertised as rentals, with an email address claiming to be the owner who has moved to West Africa and asking potential renters to wire money to them directly. 

It is outrageous!
