  • Most of Craigslist is a scam

    Thank you for the most eloquent response to my listing,and sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I'm the owner of the apartment you are making inquiry of. Actually my parents resided in the apartment,before i lost both parents in a ghastly Vehicle accident, so i had to decide to let it out since i grew up here in West Africa with my fathers half Sister working in a charity organization here in the West Africa.So presently my apartment is still available which i inherited from my late parents for rent . It includes utilities like hydro, washer and security, I have my furniture in the apartment. if you wish to move in with your furnished items there is a storage area where you can move my furniture's, no problem.

    want to give you for rent, i will want you to take absolute care of my apartment and I want you to treat it as your own, as trust is the most important thing but i want you to keep it tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i come for check up.All utilities included except electric (Heat, A/C, Gas, Cable, High Speed, Internet, Water, Sewer, Trash Removal).

      very funny

      That is hilarious

      Never give your ID to anyone, never send money to anyone - period.

      If you want to rent an apartment, you must be on site and be fairly sure that the person is the owner of the apartment before you agree to give out any information or give any money.

      If you do decide to rent, always walk away from any meeting with a copy of any paperwork you signed with the owner. Alway get a receipt for any payment you make.

      PS - If you are looking for an apartment in Calgary, I may be able to help - after all, I live here so I can scope it out ahead of time.

          So many false ads!

          If you read the ads you notice the same theme or style of writing with pics. that don't belong in a set. Then you respond there is absolutely no reply. Mainly because it's one person who must have a ton of time posting ads in this section on a daily basis, collecting pics. and email addresses.
          Truly disappointing for the ones that post genuine ads, it's getting more difficult to decipher.

              So far I haven't found any fakers on Kijiji

              Funny that kijiji.com is ebay classifieds.

                      e-bay is pretty good i know of a few people that got riped off but it worked out ion the end. I have seen fake ads on Kijiji but they were obviously fake and i have gotten fake responses for items to sell but they are obvious to fake but still their.

                        Hey Lisa, Kijiji.ca is where I bought that green convertible that you saw me in, when we first met face to face at the Lounge.
