I am a landlord, in MA, who listed a rental property on Craigslist. I recieved an email from a James/Jay Purcell located in the UK. We corresponded, by email, and he decided to rent my property. Sent me a bogus "cashier's check" for $9700. He wanted me to deposit this check and get a cashier's check for $4700. to send back to him. Turned out to be a bogus check, luckily I didn't sent him any money.
Please be aware of the scams that might come from the UK. These people sound very reputable and give a long song/dance to lure you in. Always check any monies that are sent to you, BEFORE, you become too involved!
