I just replied to an add on Craigslist in Austin and got the exact same email but the name is Stefan Creaser and the address is 2407 Bowman Avenue, Austin TX 78703. I was suspicious because the email was written so poorly and the details didn't add up. I copied the phone number at the bottom, plopped it into Google and found you guys. This is ridiculous. Thank you all so much. I will file a complaint with Craigslist.
I got the same reply, but with a different name. The house really was for rent, so I called the realtor who had a sign out front and they had no idea it was posted on Craigs List. The name of the person who really owned the house was the same name on the email, but they aren't really the same person.
The poor grammar gave it away. And the fact that usually when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Property at 44 Biehs Court , Oakland, CA. 3bed-2bath $900. I put in the phone number in search and came to this site. Drove by the house, beautiful but $900 for a place in a multimillion dollar area. Found the listing on CraigsList on May 16.
