Caution on Craigslist looking for Landlords

Just sharing to everyone specially those who are just starting and trying to find deals on craigslist. I know some people are searching for buyers first by looking for landlords that is offering some rentals. I got into some ads and the reply of at least two of the ads were exactly the same but coming from different email address. I am under the impression it is scam trying to get your personal information. And note that the rental property they are publishing is coincidentally also marked For Sale in zillow. 

I don't know if there are gurus out there teaching to do this kind of ads to get prospect renters for their seller financing. I background check the property they are selling and it is totally in different owner. 

Just be cautious and do not give your personal information even your mobile/phone number, address etc..

Go real estate! :)
