Dad gets reward for sounding alarm on fake Craigslist ad
A fake Craigslist ad spoiled the plans of a Cincinnati dad who thought he had found a dream home for his young daughter. But their story had a happy ending after all. Just last week, Timothy Schuler and his family were living in Price Hill and desperate to get out. Schuler had his sights set on a home in Colerain Township until he realized the Craigslist ad asking for $1,000 a month was fake. Schuler tipped off police to the man he says posted the ad, and they arrested Rayshawn Jones on outstanding warrants. That turned out to be a big relief to the management company whose house was at the center of the fake ad.
