Our daughter just encountered this in the Chicago area. What tipped us off was that security deposit was LESS than a months rent. Subsequent correspondence with the "owner" revealed that he was not local and not the legitimate owner. Be careful!

I'm guessing that the rent of $2200.00 a month is probably the real reason the house hasn't been rented yet.

A scam like this happend in Silverton a couple of years ago. The scammer took down the original sign and put his own cell number on another sign.The cell phone was to the Dayton area. It must have been one of them prepaid phones. Where it's harder to track someone. I know at least 2 people paid $700 to this scammer. The scammer had them meet at another location(street corner) to exchange the cash. NEVER do this. Or you will waste your money. lol
