James Hindman was the name this guy used on craigslist and said he was moving to Tulsa, OK. because he got a promotion from his job- United states aid for international development (US-AID) even had a web site for it.He send me a form to fill out to get approved to send back to him for a house @ 911 Meadow Ridge Dr. Cincinnati,Oh.45245,but on the craigslist add he put the same address but it was Batavia,OH.I went and checked the house in Batavia,OH. and it was the pics he had with the add and it was empty,so at this point it looked legit,but I googled this number 347-470-9426 and this website came up and all these scams.

Two things. First always do a 'whois' (dot) com on websites to get information about them. How old is the website? For how long? Where was it registered? They can all be red flags. Second, is the method of payment. As soon as you hear the words 'wire transfer' (Western Union, MoneyGram, GreenDot, MoneyPak, etc.) IT - IS - A - SCAM! These are CASH wire transfer services. They are NEVER to be used for a business transaction, an online purchase, and NEVER to send money to someone you do not personally know. Friends & family ONLY! Wire transfer is the 100% sign of a scam. It's CASH, that's why crooks use it.
