Hotpads SCAM!!!!!
So I used Postlets to advertise my rent house on Hotpads, etc. Now someone has hijacked my ad, is using the same pics and description but with a different phone number and email address.
One potential tenant called and told me about it, after she looked at the ad yesterday she noticed the price change this morning. She called the number and the guy was asking for her SS #, personal info etc.
Anyone have a similar experience?

I have stopped posting the front of the house for two reasons:
a) Scammers can't pull it.
b) Someone can't identify it online and know it's vacant.
