i've been helping the g/f look for a new place- easily 1/2 the ads are bogus or an inordinate amount of homeowners are relocating to west africa to become missionaries.

My sister is a real estate agent with a large property management business in the Phx area. She comes across people all the time that point out to her that someone on Craigslist is using her name and reposting her same rental properties at a lower price. The scammers then try to get the inquiring people to send them a deposit to secure the rental before looking at it. She gets Craigslist to yank the bogus listings all the time, but they just keep coming back. She will often meet up with potential renters and they will quote her the price listed from the scammers and she'll have to correct them which doesn't help her business.
At least there are some out there who are wreaking havoc on the scammers
