    This guy is on craigslist!  Look out for someone who says they are unable to show you a house b/c they are out of state, but tells you you can drive by and look at the house.  He uses all kinds of different names, he was Gary Shelton with me.

    Thank you all for the information. Unfortunately I was about to rent the property in Kenosha, Wisconsin until I spoke with "Guy Sauceda" today and he asked me to send him the rental deposit via Western Union to a Michael Bennett in Chesapeake, Virginia even though I have never heard of this guy before and the number they are calling from is a landline in Texas. Total Scam and it has been reported to my local police department! So glad I found this out before I wired any money.

    This same craigslist ad is in York pa for the exact house description above and he is going by Michael Bennett in Va. Please be careful. I emailed him but that was it. I am thankful I didnt go any further. I googled the phone number and found this website.

    This same guy tried to scam my neice in Arizona. He is going by the name Micheal Bennett. He sent the same message as below to my neice. Very eager to get the money or "he will pass the house to another interested family". Be very careful everyone!

    He has an accent and always wants you to email him. Also, when you call this phone number, a Google answering service will answer and say to leave your name and he will be reached. It will them tell you to leave a message.

    This man is going by the name of Juan Ramirez here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The house it was for was 505 Bradfield Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46825. My family and I did not find out this was a scam until after we gave him the money. Please, I beg anyone looking for a home to DO YOUR RESEARCH. My parents received a call from the numbers 361-248-8871 and 540-737-8114. Do not trust anyone UNLESS they are able to meet you in person with the keys to show you the house. My family is furious and will be going to the prosecutors office with this and we will be showing everything to them. My mother also received the exact same e-mail from this scammer.

    Also, I pretended that I was interested in the property and e-mailed him asking for more information. When he replied with a similar e-mail response, like the others, I said "Thank you for confirming that this is a scam." And that he would need to wire the money back to my family within 45 minutes and that he knows who I am referring to. I received an e-mail from him saying:

    "I don't know who you're talking about because i scammed a lot of people to take a flight and be back in my country. Pakistan. Thanks to your family that helped me in getting back home."

    Those are his exact words. This will definitely be shown to the prosecutor.

    My husband and I are trying to find a house or apartment for rents, I been getting three replies same emails but different names all claim they work for United States Aid for International Development.  The states are listed different too, but the houses they are selling is in my state, I google it in other sites, it not the same prices the scammers listed them for.  For example they trying to sell the house for like 800 or 900 for 3 or 4 bedroom, I look it up, the marketing site listed them for over thousand for buying it.  Isn't there a law or something to stop them?  It make it harder for us to find a house or apartment without getting scam.

    Here in Sacramento he is using the name Antonio Torres. And the phone number is 540-737-8114. I did a reverse lookup and was surprised it was actually a landline, which is stupid since those can be traced. I weed expecting it to be a burner cell. I'm not sure who to report this to.
