I am suspect of this person's review. It is simply too vague.
Beware- this person is a cheater.
1] My dealing concerned a Craigslist rental in San Francisco.
2] He claimed to be: Dr Douglas Mennin
e-mail-
[email protected]
Douglas Mennin is a assistant professor at Yale University, and I cannot imagine that Yale pays so little that it would need to engage in some shenanigan.
3] 1839 15th St is the address of the place I 'rented' in San Francisco.
4] His said he was gay and his boyfriend was:
Thomas Flanagan
Bank of America Account Number: 005310756480
The address he gave for this bank account was:
3623 N Broadway 1n
Chicago IL
60613
Thomas Flanagan is actually a notable Chicago figure http://www.securitiesarbitrationlawblog.com/?p=130
5] He advertised a beautiful safe place in the Castro with this posting
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sub/1063568790.html
6] the scam: He wanted two days of deposit ($80). I can barely manage this being worth the effort of engaging in a scam.
7] it was a good move for "him" and his "partner" to claim to be academics. I work at a university and have found academics to be very trustworthy in comparison to the population at large. The matter concluded with this howlingly funny (minus the fact that I was ripped off) mail below, where he claims to be in Africa. I only had good experiences from Craigslist thus far, I suppose there has to be a first time where I was to be cheated.

Hi:
Sorry for the constant email attack, it's just that I will be very busy on Friday.
I just called my Bank of America, and they said policities on making deposits vary from branch to branch, but that they may ask you for the address on the account.
The address on this account is our Chicago address, not our Atlanta address. Thomas has an adjunct faculty position at the University of Chicago, and we still keep a residence there for various benefit reasons and such and we used this account to establish residences here.
I would normally not bore someone with this information, but they may ask you
in that case, the address is:
3623 N Broadway 1n
chicago il
60613
