Simon Puffett is a SCAMMER and so is the “Reverend” Henry Gilbert. 750 euros for a 2 bedroom in 1st with free parking, cable TV, A/C, and parquet floors???? I could create a more believable scam!

Comment on WARNING: scammer Karleigh Antell hits Craigslist by Lurie

George – I am sorry I have no further information to provide you with… Wanda Hernandez “cancelled” our booking the day before our arrival when we refused to wire another $100 (as a security deposit she had never requested before) to Donald Schlagel, her “security personnel” who was having a trip to San Antonio… I discovered she is also using the address guest_david@yahoo.com… We did not go to the apartment to see whether a name was matching. When we returned from the US, we sent an email to Craigslist but have not received any answer so far. I do not know what else can be done. Good luck to you.

Anyway there are thousands of them… I’m looking for an appartement right now and just found the crazy website expatriates.com.

Did you already hear about it? Did someone already used it?

There are so many posts of amazing flat like bd saint michel in paris, 56m2, 700 euros… The amazing part is that the guy, in mission in africa to save children of course, between two go bless you, proposes me to send me the keys so as I can visit the appartement…

What do you think, are they all scammers there?

Thanks a lot!!

Quand est-ce que Craigslist bloquera les adresses des scammeurs ? A quoi cela sert de les repérer si la liste ne prend pas des mesures ?????
