More From 106.5 WYRK

I actually wasn't the direct victim of the scam, but I was involved. Well, my house was. There are scammers on Buffalo Craigslist in the housing and apartment section who are looking to make a quick buck and most of the scammers aren't even from Western New York. Friends, who were looking to buy a house or craigslist on Craigslist, were calling me this past month saying "I didn't know you were selling your house".

Buffalo Craigslist Scam You Need To Look Out For

A scammer stole pictures of my house off the wny and posted them in a Craigslist ad. Sometimes with an address there were multiple posts with pictures of my house on it so, when people would drive by, craigslist would see the house and the ad would then have a link for a first month's payment or other link. This is just one instance in many. According to WIVB yesterday:.

He had family there to help with his children. He emailed her pictures craigslist the house that were lifted from realty websites to further the scam.
