Stolen Lockbox Combinations On Realtor-Listed Property Being Used In San Diego-Area Rent Scams; Used Ads On Craigslist

The San Diego Business Journal reports:

• "Unidentified suspects have fraudulently obtained the combinations of lockboxes used to access residential properties for sale in the district. The suspects listed the properties for rent on Craigslist.com last month, used ill-gotten combinations to access homes, show them to potential renters, accept cash deposits and then disappear, according to Sandicor Inc., the local manager of San Diego County’s multiple listing service."
