I put a rental Ad on Craigslist, there is a fishy email from someone named John Stratford (name/ company always change), claimed that he will rent your house and his company will send your a check.
After you receive the check, he will ask you to refund him the overpay(check amount - rent amount) in cash. The check is most likely to be a bad check.
From website I realized, this guy keep on doing this for sometime, so I decided to post all his tel no. to alert other property owners. Be careful.
Here is his email:

I got a few emails from this John Stradford guy and i think he is stupid if he thinks that he will pass on a check with more money then the rent and expect to beleive him or even pay him back the extra amount. I called That 2096514010 number, It works but a guy who sounds like he bearly speaks english picks up and he sounds like he has a click in every sentance!!!! lol ( Russel Peters -- Comedian )Its True call that number, ask to speack to Tom Oliver and listen to hear that click at the end of every sentance.
