Мы нашли (в крейглисте в разделе каникулы и отпуск) апартаменты. Владелец прислал договор, в котором он просит указать:
Credit Card Number__________________________________
Expiration Date______________________________________
Security Code (on back of card)_________________________
Name on Card_______________________________________
Postal Code or Zip Code for Credit Card___________________
Скажите, это нормально, указывать эти данные, или это может быть мошенничество?
Как тогда поступить? Как оплатить секьюрити депозит?
И, вообще, мы жители постсоветских стран знаем, что оплачивать малоизвестным людям не желательно. Только из рук в руки. А тут с другого континента. Может у кого-нибудь есть данные - имеются ли факты мошенничества на Крейглист? Посоветуйте.

3. The Rental Robbery
Back in 2009 I wrote a detailed post on this scam, and it appears it is still going on. In fact, it's more widespread than ever, and the reason is that it is very easy to pull off, and almost impossible to track down the scammer.
The basic premise is this. You scour the Craigslist ads for a rental home and find one that is both beautiful and very, very affordable. Almost too affordable. You contact the address in the ad and are told that the owner had to leave the country (usually for something like missionary work) and needs money to cover the mortgage. You then are told to fill out a background check (which gives ID thieves a ton of personal info) and wire them money for one month's rent and deposit. Most of us would drop out at that point.
However, if you think "well, I'd never send money to someone I'd never met" you should also know there is a variant of the scam that involves people actually showing homes to you and collecting the money there and then. They'll even give you a set of keys (not that they'll work) and a signed agreement. They gain access to the home through various means, including getting the keys legitimately from a home that's on the market, and then renting it out to dozens of people in a single day. Watch out for this one, and if you receive an email that references leaving the country and low rent because money is needed fast, add it to your spam filter.Похоже на ваш случай. У вас владелец тоже куда то уехал?The Rental Scam
One common Craigslist scam involves renting a house or apartment. The scammer will post pictures of the place, often off of the actual listing as it’s shown on the realtor’s website. The scammer will pose as the homeowner, but will conveniently be overseas or unable to meet in person for some given reason, so they will require the deposit and first month’s rent to be wired to them. After they have your money, they’ll disappear without a trace and you’ll never be able to move into your dream rental.

[QUOTE=Skip_to_my_Lou;1582534]Просите номер счета, куда заплатить депозит, с именем и фамилией.
Похоже на мошенничество.
А что если я переведу деньги на счет, это будет более надежно? Счет тоже можно открыть на подставное лицо.
