Hi,
Please beware of Craiglist scams. I listed my house on Roomates.com, Roomster and Craigs List.
Here is the first and some of the last emails I received.
Hi,
Goodday to you,Hope you are doing fine?? I understand that you posted an ad
on craigslist.com that you have a room available for rent and i am
interested in knowing the availability of the place and i will also want to
know more about the neighbourhood ,the place and utilities included...??As
i'll love to have a place as soon as possible ...
About me,I am a pediatric nurse and a single lady of 27,i don't have a
pet.....I'll let you know more about me if i can know the availability of
the room.i live with my uncle in Australia presently and will relocate to
the united states soon.
I have seen rooms that are okay but the owners are not easy to get along
with,so i will want to know more about you too,i will prefer a long term
lease...i plan to arrive by mid of april,All that i'll want to know is the
availability and total move in cost before moving in.
