Don't do it!!!! Find a way to verify that the individual is legitimate before you send any money. I have personal knowledge of a case here in The Villages......where an acquaintance up north sent money supposedly to a Villages home owner who was advertising his home for rent....only to find out that it was a scam. He lost several thousand dollars. And the scammer had pulled the scheme on several people at the same time....for the same "home."
