Craigslist Scam finally got me good

So I had one of my rentals on craigslist with a lockbox on the front door.  I've been using lock boxes for 10 years.  I had a rental on the market for a few weeks giving out the code to people to look inside.  Yesterday I went to the house and there were clothes and boxes inside the house.  A few hours later 2 people showed up with a uhaul truck full ready to move in.  Could have been a disaster.  They said they wired $1400 to a man in ohio and they had a fake lease on MY HOUSE.  anybody else got a craigslist nightmare...
