Craigslist Rental Scam Hits Boise
Intermountain MLS has cautioned its members after learning about a Craigslist rental scam that occurred here in Boise.
Information about a home listed for sale in MLS was scraped from a real estate agent’s website and posted on Craigslist as a home for rent.
The ad said the owner was out of the country, wanted to rent the home, and that the keys would be sent upon receipt of the security deposit.
The renter sent their deposit and, unfortunately, the keys were not sent.
Be careful when responding to Craigslist ads about real estate.
