So we’re obviously looking at apartments on Craigslist…. but you have to be careful and not get scammed. I e-mailed about some apartments last night, and I got two e-mails back, both stating that they were currently in “West Africa”. Scam Sign One.

Both ads have been flagged. Scam Sign Two.

Below, you’ll find the best scam e-mail I have received in years. It comes from the Reverend Omec Jones. Enjoy.

Thanks for your email and it is my gladness to hearing from you.I am Rev.Jones ,the owner of the house you are making enquiry of.Actually I resided in the house with my family,such as my wife and my only daugther before and presently we had packed due to my transfer from my working place and now situated in the OHIO ,AKRON and presently my house is still available for rent including the utilities like hydro,washer and security, Also dishwasher and dryer was there. it is furnised.
