I’m in human services and this woman I support put a room wanted ad on CraigsList. Someone contacted her with what was clearly a scam but I can’t figure out how. They gave her the address and told her the key was in a PO Box, and that they were a flight attendant and going to be away for a couple months.

Not knowing half of that, I brought my client by the house at her request, just to look at the outside of the house and the neighborhood while we talked. We noticed the door was open, went up and knocked, and met the brand new owners of the house who had no idea what we were talking about.

I guess maybe we threw a little monkey wrench in the scam by going there unannounced, but I can’t figure out what angle they were going to take.

Thank you!
