*record scratch*
WHAT?!
We didn't put it on Craigslist; the real estate agent didn't either. After talking to the woman, this is what we know:
- It was posted as a rental for several hundred dollars less per month than market value.
- The person searched public records, found my grandfather, and created a Yahoo! Mail account using his full name.
- The email he sent to the woman was in broken English. He claimed to be an American working in Zimbabwe (!) who just wanted someone to take care of his house.
- The Best Part: after rambling on in horrible English, he signed the letter REVEREND [Grandfather's Name]. Awesome. Because who wouldn't trust a reverend doing the Lord's work in Africa. On Craigslist.
What a nightmare.
I believe it was taken down as I had the whole post and the number. We searched and can not find the posting.
ReplyDeleteI did contact Craigslist, however they have not responded as yet. In looking at some complaints on Google about Craigslist there are lots of them for no responses.
People are unbelievable.
