Someone took the details about our condo from the sale posting and reposted it to Craigslist saying it's a rental. I'm not quite sure how the scam works, but probably along the lines of the one who hit Eor's sister - they said that they were going out of the country for a year and for like $600 someone could take care of the house. One of my coworkers has heard of a tactic of the scammer even meeting someone at a property and saying, "Oh, I forgot the key. But if you give me a security deposit I'll hold it for you."

Anyway, we think Craigslist is more likely to take it down if scam reports come from a bunch of different IP addresses, so all I'm asking for from you is that you go look at the picture of my kitchen and then hit the 'spam/overpost' link in the upper right hand corner. (Gads it seemed creepy to see the picture with MY tea cannisters in it. I don't know why, but just the fact that it was posted somewhere without my knowledge, it almost felt like some stranger had been in my kitchen taking pictures. I know in my head that the picture was taken by Scott Schenker, our legitimate agent, but it was a gut reaction.)

(ETA - Sorry about the broken link, earlier! I'm an idiot. Here's a link that should work to our actual advertisement about our condo being for sale, if you want to see more pictures of our place. :))
I can sometimes find something really gross quite amusing when it's told to me well after the fact and we know that all parties concerned are quite alright, now. Although his nose does still look a little like a Bajoran.... )

Yes, I know, I'm totally plagiarizing and telling a story that's not my own. It's just one of those things I felt compelled to pass on, maybe because it made me squirm so. ;)
