A Montreal woman is warning apartment hunters to be cautious after her condo was falsely advertised as available for rent and used to scam people out of cash. Margaret said her broker had received several inquiries about whether it was also for rent. After speaking with her realtor, Margaret went online and discovered her condo had been listed as immediately available for rent on three different websites, including Craigslist. The ads advertise the furnished downtown apartment, complete with a backyard, at the low price of $475 a month. A listing on Craigslist advertised Margaret's apartment for $475 a month.
