I contacted someone about an apartment on craigslist.com. I received the following response:

2beds 1.5bath

The Property is still available for rent and i am looking for a responsible person / family to occupy and maintain the Place now that i am not around.I wanted to sale the Property posted online before i was advised not to sale it. i just moved to C O, United states , on job transfer,Here is the Address to the Place : 4622 Maplewood Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90004

I'm sorry you may not be able to see the inside of the unit right now, as there was no formal intent of renting this unit and there is no building manager because i lived there and there was no need for the manager, but you can see the pictures of the interior i posted. You may go by the apartment to have a look of the neighborhood and environment Also how long do you intend to stay

How soon do you intend to move in?

How many years are you will to sign ?

Rent: $700 including utilities like WATER, ELECTRICITY, GAS, HEAT AND GARBAGE while the security deposit is $600 if you are interested write me back so i can email you the rental application, I will be honest with you, I am hard of hearing, the best way for communication for me it through email or you can text at 8123701813

via text messages and I'll get back to you asap.

Mr Scott.

I was suspicious that it was too good to be true, but I responded just in case I was wrong. He then sent me the rental application form:

I filled out the application and finally received the following email:

Let me hear back from you as soon as possible so that l can go arrange for the delivery of the keys/Documents.Once again I'm giving you this apartment on trust and do not disappoint me because l don't want my apartment to be destroyed,no problem if you wish to move in with your own furniture.

You'll be sending us the rent money every month to our financial planner account which is listed below, so walk into the bank and have the First and last month rent with security deposit done($2000) .

Like I said earlier money is not my major concern , I want you to handle this property like your personal belonging. I waiting for the payment confirmation asap. You will have to send me receipt or deposit copy to enable me confirm the deposit.

Finally I realized that this was a scam after seeing that he wanted me to send him money without first meeting him or seeing the apartment first.
