Found two luxurious apartments on Craigslist both were scams. Person is now using two alias with current names of Huritz Seymour Alan and Daniel Deguzman. Both give untraceable Seattle phone numbers and want a large upfront deposit. Avoid at all costs.
I was looking for a vacation rental on craigslist and got a reply from this Ernest character. The apartment looks way too good to be true for $100. This is the information he supplied at the end of the mail:
Ernest C Anderson
Phone +19 17210 1225
Fax 206 337 3738
This is a scam. Beware!
I have sent a notification of this scam to Craig Newmark of craiglist.
Got the same thing this week-end under a different name. Sure sounds like a scam. They wanted me to transfer money to a 3rd party in London, England. When I looked up the address, it was a holiday inn in London.
There is an announce showing beautiful pictures in New York.
They wanted the payment asap through the Westernunion transfer.
Because I wanted transfer money through my bank account they made lots of problem!
I checked through the google map the flat, and it is located at a School address! Then I tried to call the number they provided (Phone +19 17210 1225), doesn't exist at all!!!!
