Type of a scam Rental
I am a Realtor and have a client who found a rental advertised on Craigslist. The scammer told her to go look in windows and mail deposit then would mail keys. He claimed to be the owner named Earnest. I looked into it further for her and happen to know the real Earnest who is in a nursing home and know the family. So obviously we knew then it was a scam. I have informed the family. The scammer was called and foreign and claimed to be earnest when I told him he was not and to remove the listing.he became mean and threatening and name calling. I also emailed the scammer after he did not remove and we reported to the police.

Contacted Eva through craigslist about a temporary rental in Fairbanks, AK. Was asked to provide a security deposit to hold the home for us, so I did. I was then asked to pay for the 2nd month a day or so later and said no, but then was asked later on if I could provide a $100 gift card so that they could fix their Netflix account. I responded no that I wasn’t comfortable with that, and I asked for a refund of our deposit. I continued to ask for the refund of our total deposit ($1800) and there was no response until about 6-8 hours later with a text message that said "send me your bank details", with which I replied to send it to my paypal account. I am now taking legal action to get my funds returned to me.
