Complaint Review: Laurie newsome

I was looking for a house to rent and came across the ad on Craigslist...it said text the number and I did..The person text me back and told me if I wanted to rent the house then I would have to wire them the deposit and they would fed ex me the keys after I paid them...I have already been scammed in the past so im cautious with things like this...I told them I would not wire them money without some kind of proof this was not a scam...they replied by saying could I pay half and then when I got the keys to pays the other half...I said ok...they replied with the name laurie newsome and jenning florida and the zip code 35053... I looked up Laurie newsome on Google and this website came up...please report to the fbi if you receive anything.like this...it is truly sad when people.con others out of their hard earned money..
