To be fair my last apartment I rented off Craigslist:

- He paid me $1000 to move in

- Gave me all of his furniture for free

- Paid my application fee

I actually got the apartment via a sublease and opted to continue his lease. A few months ago I sold the furniture for a profit and moved with no issue.

I can respect that. Perhaps I'm being unfair.

In my area and my experience, I've had about a half dozen interactions with Facebook for significant things. 4/6 were straight up scams.
