<DIV dir=ltr>Any of you read last weekend's <SPAN id=misspell-7 class=mark>Trib</SPAN> article about the renting scam? A house goes on the market for sale, and someone puts an ad in <SPAN id=misspell-8 class=mark>Craigslist</SPAN> announcing it's for rent; they get a deposit, and the poor renters show up on the homeowners' doorsteps, expecting to move in.<BR><BR>Yesterday someone I know told me that she had gotten several strange, similar email responses to her queries about rental property in Portland. I told her about the article. This morning my folks, whose home is on the market in the Portland area, told me that a couple showed up at their front door to look at the place. Actually, the 'owners' (they used my dad's name) told them they were doing missionary work in Africa, and to just come by and look in the windows. <SPAN id=misspell-9 class=mark>Thats</SPAN> the same thing my friend was told. The folks who came by my folks' place were looking in
the windows when they saw my parents.<BR><BR>So I told my dad about the scam when we were talking this morning. We'd like to know how does he get these ads off <SPAN id=misspell-10 class=mark>Craigslist</SPAN>? Does he have to go on and find them and flag them? Is there another way?<BR><BR>I'd appreciate any suggestions.<BR><BR> Thanks,<BR><BR>Sunil<BR> <BR></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>=======================================================<BR>List services made available by First Step Internet,<BR>serving the communities of the <SPAN id=misspell-12 class=mark>Palouse</SPAN> since 1994.<BR> <A href="http://www.fsr.net/" target=_blank>http://www.fsr.net/</A><BR> <SPAN id=misspell-13 class=mark>mailto</SPAN>:<A href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com"
