After I placed an add on Craigslist to rent a room two weeks ago, someone identifying himself as Henry said their girlfriend wanted to rent it. I answered a couple of questions they had, and a couple of days later I got a reply providing a lot of information calculated to make the prospective renter a very good prospect. That came with a bunch of other questions. I told them to call me. A couple more days after that I get an email from the girlfriend (same email address:
[email protected]) giving me a number to call (917-313-0560) and saying her job would be paying her rent, but that she would like to secure the room before moving in. So at this point I already know this is going in the direction of someone sending me a check and asking that part of the figure be sent back to them. I googled the phone number and I learned here that it was associated with other Craiglist scams with different names. So I called "Henry" (I can't talk to Debbie because she out of the country) and ask for more info on a job he posted on craigslist, he asked for my name and email. I made them up and upon not being able to pinpoint which one of his prospective victims I was he hung up. I believe he uses Magic Jack for his phone number. This guy needs to be stopped.
