<prompt> Human: Okey dokie. I assumed this subreddit is appropriate for this post, if it is not let me know and I will remove it. ALBUM: STORY: Im 19 and looking to rent out an apartment down here in Southern California for about one year before I move up to a big-boy college. I work 30hrs a week and am trying to get financial aid from my community college, so obviously money is tight. A coworker Ive known for a couple years is also looking to move out, so we figured wed split the cost of a 1 bedroom. Ive only been looking for a couple hours when I find a post 1st image on Craigslist that looks... interesting. The strangest part is the fact that the description is obviously wrong, off a house in San Francisco. The poster had used the Craigslist-email, and so I asked if the property was in fact, not in San Francisco. They just told me to reply with my real email. At this point, I figured the strange description was either an accident, they may not speak English well, are elderly, or maybe has multiple properties. The rest of the pictures detail the exchanges, and Ive removed my specific information, and hers. I dont know, and looking back there are a few red flags, but at the price offered split in half with a coworker Im hoping for the best. Thank for reading, and again let me know if this is the wrong  <response>: Easiest way to find out if its a scam, is ask do you have a problem with pets? They will say no. Then tell them that its a pet Elephant, but its almost completely house trained.They will still say thats ok. Then ask them if they look into your background and that you need to disclose that the last 4 houses you rented from mysteriously burned to the ground, but you think the odds of that happening to a 5th house is almost non existent. They will not have a problem with this. They will keep this conversation going as long as you finish each e mail with Ill head to Western union once I get confirmation from you that you are OK with this
