Recently,a Fairways couple moved to an assisted living facility--out of the immediate area.As many folks have done,--they listed their very nice home for sale.After a short period---cars started coming to the home and looking at the house with no realtor present.
To make a long story short----an observant resident noticed the strange activity. The owners were notified & upon investigation---this nice home was listed on CRAIGSLIST ---for the very ''affordable'' price of $500 per month plus $600 ''security deposit''---OH YES--THIS WAS A HELL OF A DEAL!
The owners quickly advised the realtor, and the Craigs listing was removed!
Just another reason to keep the gates working !
SCAM NUMBER TWO--MOVING SCAM!
Some residents may have seen this unusual scene early one morning recently.
Here is the abbreviated story---A new resident buyer from the mid-west ,contracted a moving firm to bring his belongings to the Fairways.
The moving company selected [with due diligence]
was Supreme Van Lines of Miami Fl.
The initial agreed on written estimate was $1355.00.
After many weaves and bobbing--the final ''ransom'' payment, demanded
was over $ 2600.00 with additional physical damage to his Fairways home!
THE GRANDFATHER CLOCK ---was not delivered with the furniture!
After days of threatening--the clock pictured above was left in the street intersection, in the middle of the night!
The clock was damaged beyond repair!
By law their is little protection against heathens like these.
We have seen stories like this on TV-- but folks --it can happen anywhere!
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

I saw the clock on the road with the sign that read "DO NOT REMOVE" My only thought was WTF ? IS THIS ALL ABOUT !
I have heard of the Craigslist scam. But the moving company, that's a whole new level of scammers. Basically it's "If you want your stuff, pay us what we tell you, not what we agreed upon" Unbelievable, thanks for the information Bill
