Turning the tables on a Craigslist Scammer
A scammer on Craigslist cloned our rental advertisement on Zillow. We are asking $2100/mo rent and they are offering our house for $1290/mo (less than my mortgage) so I decided to engage him for 24 hours, apply for my own property and see where to send the money. It probably wasn't the best use of my time but I've wasted far more on sillier things.
The following are screenshots of my conversation with the scammer, enjoy!

Bravo! And funny.
I DESPISE theft. I have done a lot of nasty, hard stuff to earn my family savings and if someone tries to steal it, it will be over my dead body.
