if that crazy woman was able to send thousands of dollars for a security deposit and months of rent then why didnt she buy a plan ticket to go meet the ad person?

Get Rid of Craigslist. Last yr, was the last time I posted I had the worse low-life's possible trying to get a product for nothing, real Skeeves. Never let them up your apt/house. It's a mecca ground for criminals.

This can all happen just like in any other situation, if you're getting scammed you obviously need to get your shit straight.

A good way to catch these scammers is to act interested and when they ask for your personal information, tell the scammer you are selling this for your brother in law. Give them the name of your brother in law, which is really the name of an actual fraud police officer from your local city and give the phone number and address of the police station where he works. This way, an actual police investigator can deal directly with the craigslist scammer and catch them.

Obviously the poor girl is to say the least, very naive and maybe some would even say stupid.
