Scammed

Monday afternoon, I got a phone call from someone about the home Haroldine is living in. It seems she wanted to know why there are two Craig's List ads--$500 apart for the same home. Apparently someone else was advertising my home, with the same pictures.

After a bit of investigating, it turns out, the powers that be do not take lightly this kind of thing. The first order of business was contacting Haroldine. I told her that under no circumstances was anyone to enter her home without Jack. No exceptions. It turns out she saw the ad in Craig's List too. After that was settled, I spent an enormous amount of time contacting anyone who might remotely care about this guy who was advertising my home. Hopefully he will just take down the ad and scurry away.

WOW! You've been scammed! How did this scammer think they were going to actually get into the house to rent it? Did you find the ad? Did it have one of those links telling you to check your credit score? You should have called him/her and acted like you were interested in the house just to see how he/she was going to do this whole thing. Scary.
