A sad day

So we found this great house on Craigslist.com, it had everything!!! Fenced in yard, garage, basement, hardwood floors, multiple bathrooms. It was PERFECT!!! I knew it had to be too good to be true for only $1200 a month. We went and looked at it, outside only and e-mailed the guy. That's where things got strange. He said he was out of country and after several e-mails we could have the place, but needed to Western Union him the money first before he sent the documents and keys.

So I got stocked that we were going to move into this great new place and that the gods were FINALLY smiling on us. I should have known better.

Stranger yet, there was a lock box on the front door, but he wouldn't give us the code to go inside. From there on out and a short phone call to my dad, we decide to look into the Nigerian scam idea...yep! We almost got scammed. I am just in shock right now. People can be so cruel and money hungry to take advantage of others. I'm so mad at this Prick I can't believe it and at the same time so sad. We were really looking forward to letting Finn have a backyard and maybe a sibling.

All in due time I guess. Someday our ship will finally come in. Just another test for us. Please warn other loved ones about this. We're definitely reporting this guy.
