Craigslist Rental Scam - Call4Room.com

As reported:

URL:
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/roo/d/sacramento-looking-for-clean-and/6868392211.html

Emailed, received text reply from (720) 370-7562, "just got your email for my cl ad "Looking for clean and considerate roommate,Available Now!" Please contact with the room owner directly at www.m.call4 room. com"

This URL, call4room.com, is only 1 month old and pretends to be from Roomster (e.g., logo at top). The subdomain (e.g., http://m.call4room.com/) redirects to a page featuring "Lisa Allison". However, a Google search shows other call4room subdomains with "Lisa Allison", in different municipalities (e.g., https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/roo/d/pomona-room-for-rent-beautiful/6853045188.html, which has URL call4room.com/4581698, which redirects to http://www.lisa.call4room.com/, which has a different image of "Lisa Allison".

The user is prompted to redirect to Roomster, where another fake ad exists. In my case, it was https://www.roomster.com/profile/13193556.

Sad.
