In fact there is one in my neighborhood that would be a great buy for someone.

This house has about 1 acre of usable flat land, a swimming pool that is in ground, 3/4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, open bonus room, 2 car garage and more.

Contact me for more information on this and other homes in foreclosure.

People from foreign countries are taking my information from my website and are posting it on Craig’s list. These people claim to be the owners of the property in the ad but they are not. In fact these scamers are out of the country so they are unable to show the home to the potential renter. I now have had 3 homes fall prey to this scam. Below is an example of their ad.

Here is an example taken from CRAIGSLIST
