These people offer to rent, but then send a check for thousands over the rental price. They ask you to quickly send them the money over the rental price because that was their travel money too. You send the money from your account and the check is no good so you loose out big time.
I have been renting my timeshare for years and get these all the time. They are never good.
I received a email asking about a summer rental i had listed on craigiist. Person said was interested had this number but yet listed address from different state - who is this?
Received a similar inquiry with this number. The guy said his name was Peter West and his friend Jeff Thomas. They wanted to rent my condo for July.
Are they legit?

Thanks for your reply. I received a similar email as the other's described...an interest in my summer rental posted on craigslist. Seemed fishy. In the email it was written "...I believe we are getting into this in utmost faith as we will expect you to be sincere with us as we are God fearing people." Lol...with the amount of detailed instructions they had to 'settle the deal' I would not have been surprised if they had asked me to wait for a phone call from pay phone at a specific location at a specific day and time..lol.
Got an email from them asking to rent my summer rental as well. They gave me this number and sokie to them but could not really understand them and were not forthcoming with details. Did not send them additional information.
