Replied 12/13/2011 to a post on Craigslist for a condo rental in Stowe, VT. Was just about to mail back the booking form and deposit and thought I'd do a quick online check. Got a hit for telephone# (Personal Info Removed) (Lousiana) which was identified on the form. The name used for rental is Matthew Cohen, email address [email protected]. Sounds suspiciously like posting thread for Frank Gerson aka Frank Moss, Nilda Rivera. Thanks to all for posting the original thread!

  • I know it has been a long time since you got scammed but your email looks a lot like mine did. Do you mind looking at my report 240959 and seeing if the contract I posted was the same as the one you received. Thanks.
