Beware

I was reading a blog by a RE/Max agent in New Jersey, Mr. John Nyiszter who made me aware of some very important information.
Apparently there are identity thieves out there who will borrow an address and pictures from your listing website and post an ad on craigslist posing as a renter.
Then when this person finds a renter via craigslist they will request payment for the home they are going to rent you.
The potential renter in this scenario figured it out when the person who posted the craigslist ad asked for a wire transfer to Nigeria.
Especially nowadays, there are a lot of shady people out there and I want you all to be careful.
