Who called from 2396906579

This [***] just got me i hope someone puts a bullit in his [***] head.

Thank goodness for this posting!  I was ready to book accommodation.  He is advertising for a vacation rental in Breckenridge on Craigslist.  When he replied he talked about rental agreements, paypal for safety and seemed knowledgeable about the property.  I almost fell for it.  I decided to google his phone number (goes by the name of Eric) and came across all of these scam alerts.  The pictures he sent were from a property that is for sale (saw the exact pictures on Realtor. com).  The price was a little low for the area but just assumed was trying to keep it rented.  Don't know if I can trust Craigslist anymore!

I was looking for a house to rent for the week im in Kansas and i have been on craigslist where i have emailed quite a few people now, but this person got back to me and offered $150 a night but i negotiated him down to $600 inc tax for the week, after sending him the email saying that i am interested he sends me an email with the pictures of the house, to which i notice this is a 2 br house but he sends 3 pictures of 3 different rooms, didn’t think anything of it till i Googled the address he gave me '807 Truman Avenue, Key West' even before i Googled it i knew that key west was in Florida as ive visited there a few times now, me being a British citizen i just have to dig deeper to make sure im getting my monies worth, and that’s when i found a whole list of things about this person, different names, different numbers, but same address, he is now going under the name 'Gary Smith' how Americanized with the number '510-606-7616' and email address as '[email protected]' just keep an eye out for him, i have emailed craigslist and i am posting this on a few more forums to do with him.

I have now emailed him questioning why the address is in Florida and not in Kansas and why the 3 pictures does not match but no reply as of yet.

I Hope no one else gets scammed by him!!!
