Fraudulent Craigslist Postings

This was sent out by RMLS today:

It has come to our attention that some homes that are posted for sale on Craigslist are being fraudulently re-posted as low-rate rental listings on Craigslist. The photos, address and other details were all included in the scam rental post with an e-mail address directing people to what appears be an out-of-country party. The scam may be aimed at getting prospective renters to wire or send first and last months rent. In the case reported, an agent conducting an open house was unexpectedly inundated with people who wanted to rent a two-bedroom house in Irvington for $600/month. If you see any listings such as this on Craigslist, please contact Craigslist to have it removed.
