Police say new rental scam being used in Reno area:

We have new scammer names to add to the list.

This time it’s “Jane Duncan” and “Gary Duncan” who are posing as the usual missionaries moving to West Africa. According to this article they are targeting craigslist in the Reno, Nevada area posting ads for rental properties that are below normal rent and as usual don’t even belong to them.

Be aware.

Police: Reno man used Craigslist to lure boys to home:
32-year-old Jason Hunter was arrested on Thursday for using craigslist to lure two teen boys to his home before sexually assaulting one of them.

According to police, the suspect met the two boys, 13 and 15, through Craigslist under the ruse he was a 20-year-old woman.

During online conversations, the “woman” asked the boys to come over to her cousin’s home where they could party, investigators said.

One of the boy’s misled his mother into giving them a ride there, saying instead it was a friend’s home.

Hunter is accused of providing them alcohol. Both boys later passed out on his bed, and the younger boy told police he awoke to find the suspect sexually assaulting him.

Granted this guy is a piece of trash that should be locked away in a hole somewhere but what parent allows their kids to go on craigslist? Just like everything else I’m guessing that most parents aren’t even aware what lurks on craigslist let alone knowing what it is.
