Stumbled upon a Craigslist listing for a studio in San Francisco. Had a long email conversation during which I started to get suspicious. I asked the person for their name, email, and number. Gave me the name "Portia Clegg" at xaviergonrental@yahoo.com. The name for the email shows up as Xavier Gonzalez. I got the contract but had to convert it to a pdf before I could open it (another huge red flag...at this point I was pretty much sure it was a scam but I just wanted to see). The contract lists the property under "Portia Clegg Properties," with a wandarich04@yahoo.com contact and a phone number that is disconnected.

All the signs as the ones listed in this post were there. The person said they were hard of hearing but would respond by text instantly, gave me a name and routing number through First Citizens Bank, and had similar grammatical issues as the ones quoted here. For example, the following is a message I received:

"Thanks for your email and here is info below, so to secure your date for reservation,here is payment instructions and paper work to sign

I hereby attached contract form to sign and fill out, also your deposit $1,200 and refundable fees $360

The property is still available for your date

Here is info below

Bank Name : First Citizen Bank
Name : Portia Clegg
Account Number 000868251170
Routing Number 053100300

Email me back when the deposit is done for booking of your date and we can mail out your booking receipt and attach back deposit receipt and email me back with your mailing address"

Thank you to all of you, I've avoided being scammed.

I was on craiglists list looking for a vacation apartment in Manhattan for a work colleage and found this apartment for $900 per month which I thought was a steal.  (first red flag but I just thought it was my lucky day). I was in contact by email only, but some things just didn't add up.  I just got the booking rental agreement and it had "puamana rentals property's" letter head on it.  I just had a feeling this wasn't legit.  I emailed and requested if I could visit the apartment and was informed that was a guest staying there which further brought my suspicions to yet another level since I was first informed that the apartment was available.  I googled the so called business name but did not come up with an exact match, but upon reviewing the rental agreement there was another name "Melissa Sotelo Property's" which I googled brought me to this site.   Just after reading through the posts I noted the heading of the thread and looked at the rental agreement in front of me and it has the same telephone number 585-204-0896!!  email address ashleypo1980@yahoo.com address was 260 W 54th St. Apt. 41G NY NY 10019.   Also said to do a direct deposit to account holder - Lisa Davis, Bank name: Southeastern Federal Credit Union Bank account number 118822, routing number 261271500.  Thanks people for sharing.

Same thing happened to me but the name is Ashley Pool and the listing is in Rancho Mirage, it's a scam. I wanted to talk to someone in person and they said they are hearing impaired and text is the best way to reach them...RED FLAG!! Be careful!!

Hi, I was wondering about your correspondance with this person. I think that they have scammed me as well for a house in Cape Cod.

She/He or Whatever it is Advertised on CL For Vacation Rental on Newport Beach. 6 Bd for $1900 A week. The Address Was Supposed to Be 4205 Seashore Dr Newport Beach, CA 92663

The problem is the house at this location is only a 4 Bd & They wanted a 50% Deposit To "Hold The Dates" without a contract of anything they provided the follow details to deposit the money:
Here is info below

"Bank Name : Wells Fargo Bank, N.A
Name : Melissa sotelo
Rounting : 124103799
Account name : 3861343766

I will personal be there

1)because of keys for you to check in and show you everything in good shape before check in

2) Because of security deposit handover back to you and receive back keys

I will be at the Property from 6:30 am through 6:30 p.m to check you in

Email me back when the deposit is done for booking of your date, we can confirm your deposit, because deposit comes from different guest and we can mail out your booking receipt and scan back deposit receipt"

The problems Here Are Many! Who would stay 12 hours waiting for you to check in instead of asking when you are coming? & who would provide you with a "Booking Receipt"?

We were looking for a place in Key West and found a similar ad. The respondent told us to send money to Tamica in Fort Worth as well. Thanks for posting on here. It confirms our suspicions.

Yes this is a current rental scam as of today 12.16. 12.  Name is claimed to be Anjelica Polk.  Hearing disabled cannot talk on the phone.  Very illiterate text messages.  Claims to be renting a condo at the Kona Reef in Hawaii..  Listing on Craigs list.

This telephone number is being used as a number for rental scams - I think out of Nigeria.  So - if they give you this number BEWARE!  Do not send money to their Western Union
