Colorado craigslist scammer on the loose

Cops warn of Craigslist scam:
The good people of Greenwood Village, Colorado are being warned by police to be on the look out for a craigslist real estate scammer.

Victims have inquired about a rental home through an independent real estate broker via Craigslist, identifying himself as Dan Reynolds (no relation, I swear), James Edwards, or James Forrest, police said.

Victims have met with the subject, typically at a Starbucks in or around the Denver metropolitan area, and have paid the suspect $250 as a retainer for a rental property.

The checks are cashed despite that the victims say they are told that the check would only be used if the owner approves them for the lease, police said.

The article has a police phone number you can call if you have any information.
