Craigslist Madrid postings are full of scammers

So, thankfully we got a warning on craigslist about a bunch of
scammers offering apartments in Madrid for great prices.

The hook was they were quickly called away to be a doctor in Africa
(or Nigeria <-- key point there) and had pictures that were WAY to
nice than the other places.

The fotos were like the ones already in the frames at the store (or
like the girlfriend that Napoleon Dynamite had)

We have responded to a few of these "housing ads" and got big long
letters asking for a bunch of info, and trying to pull at our heart
strings.

Well, Christians though we are, we are not going to fall for any
Nigerian scam, even if it is helping out someone helping orphans
Nigeria.

So a warning for those of you looking for apartments. The sites that
have the ads in english, have many more scammers on them. Use www.loquo.com

www.segundamano.es and www.sublet.com instead.

Buena Suerte,

Petronius
