Oregon Couple, Others Victimized In "Craigslist" Rent Scam

KPTV Channel 12 in Oregon reports:

• An Oregon City couple said a Clackamas mortgage company scammed them out of their hard-earned cash. And the company has received other complaints as well. Lynn and Ed King-Wohlhuter said they found an advertisement on Craigslist.org, claiming a Clackamas company was willing to buy homes and allow perspective buyers with poor credit to buy the homes back on lease options. The couple said they borrowed $3,000 after the company’s representative said he would buy them a house in Georgia so they could be closer to family. But the couple said after paying the money, the company’s owner refused to return their calls and never made good on the deal. They said they may now lose everything.
