开学季，大家都忙着找房子，也是骗子横行的时候，本人也在美国亲历几个，尤其在craigslist.org最猖獗!

　　首先，在craigslist的广告贴上，写的不是很详细，无图无电话。你需要发邮件过去咨询。

　　其回邮件的内容通常相当丰富，就是特别的长，通常会包含一下几点：

　　1.不在国内，暂时回不来，所以不能当面交易!

　　2.documents and keys 会通过DHL send过来!

　　3.租金通过western union汇过去.

　　4.如果你需要看室内照片的话，那些装修明显是样板房，简约风为主.

　　5.最重要的是，都信上帝，所以希望你也一样诚实!

　　有可能在邮件里会说的情况还有：

　　1.耳朵不好，停不了电话

　　2.最近出了什么事故

　　3.如果连付3个月订金会给这样那样的discount。

　　以下列举一篇骗子邮件共参考：
