About a month ago, we applied for a house for rent on craigslist.com. 19 Jonquil st. casper wyoming. On March 17th I received an email stating all he needed was the application filled out and the first and last month\'s rent. He stated his name was Craig Wagner and was a pediatrician who worked in Africa. The email was very detailed and very flattering. I emailed him the application (with out giving away personal info about social security number etc) and then I started to think something was wrong. He told me to send the money to nigeria and the next day the COURIER would deliver the house and keys. I asked him to call me so I knew it wasn\'t a scam. When he did call, it was not an american person it was a person with a foreign accent. When I told him I wanted to see inside the house before I rented, he told me he didnt have anyway to do this, when in his emails he stated he had family living there at the moment that could take care of anything needed. I hung up after I told him I knew it was a scam. We didn\'t give him any money, but what peaked our interest was that we HAD applied for the house online through craiglist, well emailed our interest.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
