Three bedrooms, one bathroom, newly remodeled and it’s renting for just $600 a month. Sound too good to be true? It is. And the people who actually live in this Pensacola, FL home are furious.
Rhonda Trafford first learned about the Craigslist post on Monday, after a woman knocked on her front door inquiring about the ad.
“I was like well, ma’am, it’s not for rent… and she refused to leave, so I took a picture of her tag,” said Trafford. “Then the next night she was sitting in the driveway and it’s became a pretty scary situation.”
Trafford spoke with another person who came to look at her house. He gave her a phone number tied to the ad. She tried calling while our cameras were rolling. There was no answer, but the voicemail recording let us know it’s a virtual phone number.
Trafford has talked to the man allegedly behind the ad. He told her he was the owner of the home and had been for five years; the deed to the house says otherwise. Now, the home is for sale. In fact, the photo and description on the ad were taken from the real listing, posted on a real estate website, not Craigslist.
“In his ad, it says to ignore the realtor sign,” said Trafford. “The realtor fees were too high.” READ MORE: http://weartv.com/news/local/rental-house-hoax-pensacola-woman-finds-her-home-listed-for-rent-online
