I responded to a Craigslist for a cheap apartment, that looked pretty nice. I got this:

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to email me about the place.
We thought we had the place rented last week to a young couple, but communication has dropped off. you are the first person to email about it since we put it back on the market . It would only be fair that we gave you the first shot at the property.

Normally, we would prefer a year lease, but would also be open to shorter terms. I'm sure that you will want to see the property before making a final decision. I would simply give you the address and let you swing by, but my husband is against blindly advertising an empty home online. Rest assured the home has been up kept properly and had a good cleaning and fresh coat of paint. Basic utilities are currently on, but we expect that you would get them put into your name fairly quick.
If you want to go ahead and schedule a time to see the property, go to the link below and print off the free copy of your report. Your score isn't necessarily important, we're just interested in seeing that there are no evictions / landlord related judgments.

I am very open as far as appointments go to show the property. Any morning after 10am is fine. Just let me know when you have everything printed and be sure to leave me a contact number to reach you at and any desired time. I will call you to confirm a time and choose a place to meet.
Thanks for looking,

Sincerely,
Michelle Ratica

Yes, I clicked the link and got phished. I took action before anything happened (that I know of, it remains to be seen still). "her" email address, michelle@jobrequest.info is not even real at all, it just gets bounced back to you. I looked online after searching for the domain "jobrequest.info" and found that this person is pulling this scam on Craigslist in MANY other states. the email "she" sends out is identical in all cases. If you get this email, delete!
