I responded to a CL add to help someone move they are offering $500 for moving there apartment. I recevieved an email back from them and this is what it said
"I want the moving to be done before i get back to the states in October,i already made arrangements for the payment and also the keys to the apts,my landlord will be showing you the apts so the locations shouldn't be a problem,he will there to help you,i will be calling the landlord of the old apt so he can be around the house for packing,i will instruct my client to issue and mail out the payment he owes me so you can deduct the $500 which i believe is a reasonable amount for moving the items listed within the area,have the remaining funds wired to the landlord of the new apt via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER so he can bring down the keys to you and he would be available when you drop the items,the remaining funds you will be wiring to the new landlord is the balance payment for my new apt,I'm only doing this cause I'm presently out of the states and i want things to go smooth and perfect before my return."
My gut instinct tells me somethings fishy about it. Has anyone heard of moving scams, or heard of anything like this before? Thanks all.
