Re: possible craigs list scam? makes no sense to me.
TomCollins is correct. With a bank account number, routing number, name and address you can print up checks or use a system like paypal to get money.
When I owned my web hosting company we had ach deposit system with wells fargo for autodebits. With just the routing and account number I could debit any bank account in the u.s.

In any case, if you don't believe me, go to E-trade or something similar if you have an account. You can transfer money into your e-trade account with only this information.

[/ QUOTE ] You have to verify the account first, which involves them putting a small deposit in your account and you telling them how much it was. I think you might be able to take out up to a $100 without verifying the account, but thats pretty much too small of an amount to take for it to be worth it, especially since to get the money into the etrade account without getting caught would require you to have an alias and such. There might be ways to draw larger amounts without verification that I don't know about, but I would assume that involves getting some kind of clearance and ID check that would make it easy to get caught if you withdrew money fraudulently.

[ QUOTE ]
i'm renting out a room in the apartment i live in ( it's a 4 bedroom that i originally got with 3 friends but now i rent out the other 3 rooms since they all moved out over time ) in NYC. today i was showing the apartment to a bunch of people from craigs list... one guy came in "on behalf of his girlfriend" who is moving here from poland. he seemed like a pretty regular guy and seemed interested. he took 2 photos and told me that she would be emailing me about it. she did and asked for the craigs list link again so she could review the description of the room. i sent her the link again and she said: Hi Sir Eats A Lot I would really like the room!! officially.... How do we do w the rent? Im in sweden so i can diposet the money to your bank if you give me all numbers.... Sophia i told her that i "had a bad experience with giving my bank account info out over the internet" ( which isn't true but i didn't want to sound like a jerk if she is legit ) and that i would prefer she deposit the money into her boyfriend's bank account and that he could give me the cash or a check. i don't really see what she could do to me with my bank info but i'm curious if anyone thinks this is a scam. i guess i'll find out based on whether she emails me back or not. [/ QUOTE ] Do you really have to ask. WTF do you think it is. Its a scam. No one in sweden or any other foreign country want to rent your room.
