Our searches have taken us to the usual places so far: classifieds, real estate companies, and Craigslist. While on Craigslist we found a great home listed in Twin Falls that met our needs, was available, and was well within our budget. It seemed almost too good to be true!

It turns out it was and my family was nearly scammed. Beware of rental scams in the Magic Valley.

This number has called my cell phone twice:  214-232-0615

It was an automated robot telling me that my debit card has been put "on hold" for security issues and to "press 1" for more information.  I played along.  The recording then prompted me to enter my account number.  I didn't need to hear any more to know for sure I was dealing with a scam.
