this rental scam artist is a crook of the worst tye. he makes a living by being a thief. to lazy to work. i hope he is punished to the full extent of the law. he took food out of innocent children s mouths. he needs to be hurt in jail.. he needs to rehabilitate himself into a productive citizen. i hope his picture gets posted. when is the trial, want to stare at him.

I feel for, a couple years ago I too was scammed by a John..for a rental home in the northwest..the guy had a fake website and a fake office...I actually moved in to the place and someone came nocking saying the house was banked owned and I had to move out...I thought I was buying the place...thousands and thousands lost...I hope he gets what's coming to him!! I hope justice is served

The thief has at least $ 4,000 which can be used for restitution. Bail should have been more to cover other costs, but that is too harsh a punishment. The courts are here to protect the rights of the law breakers. The thief broke the law, therefore he will be “punished” for breaking the law; restitution is not figured in the equation. He will be out in no time because of AB 109 Prison Overcrowding. Two Flatulent Toots for the Governor!!!!

When are people going to learn Craigslist is nothing but a P.T. Barnum of the 21st century. " A sucker is born every minute"

The crook lives in Santa Barbara....i say his terms of probation should be he has to live in a rental in Bako. Viva la Craigslist

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't go near anything that is listed on Craigslist. I don't care if it's a rental unit or a can of cat food, there have been way to many problems doing business through this forum and the people who oversee Craigslist are in no way taking any responsibility.

Word to the wise -- as an apartment owner, I would never list with a free service such as Craigslist, and potential renters shouldn't even look there for a place to live. Everything I do is tax deductible, even an ad in the newspaper, which is the only place I advertise when I have a vacancy.

I think his is the same man that had the hous in Coral estates posted and only seemed to deal with women..When I called he ignored my requests..I even posted it was a scam because my gut feeling said it was!!Glad he has been caught
