I did not receive a phone call, however, I was given this number by an individual i found on craigslist to rent an apartment from in New York for the summer. Found it strange that I was given a Seattle Washington number for an apartment in New York.
We have received 2 emails with 2 different names on them with this same phone number on it in response for a request for apartments in New York. We are from New Zealand so don't want to part with any money if they are not legitimate. Have you found out any more if it is a scam?
It IS a scam!! Do not do anything business with this person.

They finally emailed me wanting me to

I am going to turn this over to the financial crimes unit in NYC. See what happens.
