New Hampshire Renter Scammed Out Of $1,000 By Phony Landlord

In Bow, New Hampshire, NewHampshire.com reports:
  • According to local business owner Ted Severance, desperate times have led some to very desperate – and illegal – measures. Severance, owner of Coastal Forest Products lumber yards in Bow and Bedford, recently said that a scam artist successfully tricked an unsuspecting woman out of a $1,000 money order by pretending to rent her a property that Severance’s company owns. The house, located on Dunklee Road in Bow, is currently without a tenant and sits adjacent to the lumber yard on property that Severance owns.
