Please also tell us about how you made the initial contact with the scammer. Was it a rental website? It's important for folks to know if a website is harboring a scammer.

There are popular websites like thevillages4rentbyowner which could possibly be the source. I've found a few examples of owners who advertise their homes here who do not have all of the amenities they claim. I don't think renters have much recourse with these owners unless they have a written agreement in place when a deposit is made.

Let the renter beware!
