This person tries to scam you. We have a craigslist account. He acted like wanting to buy one of our items up for sale and asked to verify a code from craiglist. We, not knowing what it would do gave it to him. Now he is probably trying to use the code to scam other people. He can make a fake account and sell items he doesn't have. He will take your money and you will get nothing. Please don't make a mistake like we did. Do NOT EVER give anyone the code you receive from craigslist.

Tried selling a house for $600 a month, wanted us to sent it via FedEx to colardo. It seemed a little weird so we drove by the house on eden street in BUFFALO NY,and it was for sale not rent! So we called the # and the guy told us it is for sale and he will not rent it! Also said he has heard a couple times about this! Do NOT send this scumbag any $ he will take it and never send you anything!

This number also tried to get me to send money thru Wal-Mart money gram for a house rental in Washington. Calling and texting me at 6 am trying to get me to hurry and send money. I did research and found the email did match the names of the owners of the house. But this phone number brought me to this page. Thank you to those who left comments! I backed out of any agreements before any money was sent.

I an connected to K. These people got ahold of my number and now bothering me. They seem to think that I am K. Even tho we sent email telling them no, they Keep tryin thru texts to get us to send money!  These PPL ARE OBVIOUS SCAM ARTIST! DONT FALL FOR IT

*60 then the number that harasses you, you'll not be bothered again by that number.

Agreed... this time, he's using the name Jay Weitz.  This person actually exists but he's certainly not really him.  "Jay" the scam artist, wanted to rent us Jay's house in VT.  His emails are choppy, and his ability to communicate via phone, impossible to understand.  We were close to sending him deposit money, but thank GOD, we saw information about his phone number on this site...

this is a scam! He is "renting a home" on Craigslist and isn't his home. Thankfully I googled his number he provided after sending me "a rental application " and found out he has stole people's money. What a crook. So pathetic he can't be a real man and work honest work. What a loser. DONT SEND HIM MONEY! DONT BELIEVE HIS LIES!! Thankfully I caught him in the act before anything happened.

Thanks for the interest in my House, my house is still available for rent and is located at ( 1205 Concord Ave, Birmingham, AL 35213 ). quite and safe. I only need someone that can take good care of the house in my absence because right now am not around i just secured a contract in ( Jonesboro, GA ) here in United States, Am here with the house keys and documents, I tried to look for management before i left but i couldn't get anyone on time but the one i got we had a deal and later my wife advised me against it, I reason with her and accept her advise. so i contacted the agent back and let her understand that i am no longer interested in her handling the property anymore then we decided to have the house for rent out by ourselves. We would have given the agent this job, but the truth of the matter is that agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant might not be able to reason with her. If you notice, you will discover that the price we are offering is below the standard price this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute perfect care of the house. So if you have a good reference you can email me back to secure and occupy my house in my absence.

NB: You can go to check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any sign post will be remove once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post because i have stopped dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i paid and the Realtor was trying to rip me off. It is available for a long term lease as we would be here for probably 5 years or more and we are also intending to buy a new house here in ( Jonesboro, GA ). (Security deposit required) which is $550. I would need your References, Pets Acceptable. The rent fee is $550 per month including the utilities, Get back to me as soon as possible because i need a tenant urgently and i can also forward the application form to you if you are interested.

I received the same EXACT email after replying to a vague posting on Craigslist for a rental in Idaho.  His initial was horribly written, and "choppy" at best!  I was excited about the (seemingly) good deal, and was one step away from grabbing ankles by sending this punk a security deposit.  After he forwarded the "rental application", I called BS, and did some research.  Praise be to the Great Spirit for PUBLIC PROPERTY RECORDS that proved the house was currently for sale, and that he was not legally connected to the property in any way, shape, or form!

I immediately filed an *IC3 Complaint Referral Form* to the FBI via their *Internet Crime Complaint Center*..  I strongly encourage all others that have had any contact with this [***] to do the same thing..  After contemplating my own experience with this criminal, I was able to reach many educated conclusions to how he operates.  The FBI may be able to identify him with a complete compilation of testimony from victims and/or would-be victims..  HEADS UP- If something sounds to good to be true-- that means IT'S NOT!

Me and my husband ran into this this scumbag 2 weeks ago when we were looking for a house on Craigslist out of Jackson Mississippi. We love the house 3 bedrooms 3 bathroom, very nice house. He told us to contact him soon as we look at the house. We emailed and text him while sittingin tthe front yard. He never replied. The next day he said send me a picture of you and your family and the deposit of 700$. My husband was ok with that until he couldn't provide us with utilities information and would not meet us face to face with the keys. Then he wanted the money they money gram and he will send the keys via FedEx. My husband and I sat back and put all this together and realized this MF a con artist.

I have gotten the same exact email from this number about a house for rent in Frederick md asking 500$ a month. It all seemed to good to be true he then sent me an application and I kept thinking how scammy it all sounded so I copied the number from the application and it brought me to this site! I then emailed him telling him i know he's a scammer and  better luck next time, thank god i had seen this website. What a low life scum bag.

This is my house that is actually for sale that this jerk is trying to rent! Sorry you had to deal with him! We have had several people come to our home in the last couple weeks that thought they were renting it from a craigs list ad. It's a shame that there are people like this!!

These scammers not only do not own or live in the homes they claim to rent, they aren't even in America.  They are likely in Nigeria or some other country. They steal listings and photos (of homes that are actually for sale) from real estate agents' websites.

He is still using Arthur Lane but a different # 646-801-8652

SCAM!!! --- Tried renting homes that are not owned by individual --below is the email I received

Thanks for your interest and inquiries about Our house. am sorry for the lateness in my response and as am very busy at work lately and yes the house is much available for move in and we are looking for a good and responsible tenant that is God fearing and a good christian ready to maintain and keep the house in pristine condition now that we are out of the state my reasons for leaving with my family is that i love my family and i go everywhere with them now that we are not around,we like to know if you are ready to move in am currently transferred to (Stone Mountain GA) due my work,i work with people who rely on the power of intelligence to innovate, expand their horizons and sustain the hope of a new humanism. UNESCO http://en.unesco.org/about-us exists to bring this creative intelligence to life; for it is in the minds of men and women that the defences of peace and the conditions for sustainable development must be built.i also work as researcher under Education for All (EFA). It aims to foster partnerships to strengthen countries’ capacity to offer quality education for all.

My lovely wife is a member of Joel Osteen ministries i spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew we are going to stay in(Stone Mountain GA)for 4 to 5 years that is why i decided to rent out the house. However, the initial plan was to sell out the house. which I tried, but the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell i am telling you this incase if you find the house on another website, that is the old advert.
so kindly get back to us so we can proceed on how you could get the application filled and we will also like you to know that is not the money that really matters because we believe both the rich and poor deserve a better home.

 Below is the rental property address:
 House Address

 Monthly Fee:$700
 Security Deposit:$600
 Pets Allowed: YES
 Available: Available Now for move in.

NB:Any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant, get back to me for the interior pictures and every other necessary detail to complete the rent.

So pls get back to me today
I await your reply ASAP.
The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and my home available as at this moment.

Same story as the others.  Craigslist posting January 28th, 2016 for a rental Bellingham, WA.  As soon as we started pushing for answers no more emails from Deante Cross.  He was actually insulted that we would question him and his vague answers at best.  No money was sent.  We notified the Bellingham Police Department.  He actually picked a mobile home in a mobile home park as part of him scam.  The police are going to the park and notified them of what happen.
