In case any of you use Craigslist to find a punt (there is the odd decent one).
Found this one today, claiming to be a university student in Edinburgh, staying in Dundee Street. Unfortunately for her, I know the area like the back of my hand having stayed near there, and her reaction to my questions about the place was gobbledegook – obviously never been anywhere near the place.
Demanded money up front and wanted to see a pic. Smelt a rat but strung her along for a few hours. No doubt the purpose of the pic is to subtly blackmail you against reporting the matter.

How many other punters will have fallen for it though?!
