I can vouch for that – a family friend actually just got taken by a Mission Beach scam on Craiglist! Lost all their vacation money. The scam was familiar: “My paypal account is down, so use Western Union to send me the rental fee.” They are not internet-savvy, so this didn’t set off alarm bells unfortunately. They didn’t find out they were scammed until they showed up at their supposed rental and a person answered the door saying, “May I help you?”
