Same thing happened to me. On craigslist. He came acrossed very friendly. I wondered why the house was so cheap. I looked on the reality page for the area and foudn it for sale. So i emailed the realtor and she it is not currently being rented out and that its a scam. This person also emailed me to send him a deposit via western union. He goes by Brian. A. Yates.. I contacted police and they have it in there file system. I did send in my address and where I work by mistake what a stupid fool i am. Please be aware
