Craigslist Scam
So I've got a couple rentals posted on Craigslist. I get an inquiry from someone in the U.K. who is transferring here and s/he absolutely loves the house. I tell them the rent and security deposit.
So next email I am informed that my new tenant will send me a check for $3000 to cover first month's rent and deposit of $1500, and as soon as I get it will I immediately send another check to their interior decorator for $1500.....
YOU BETCHA.
