A woman’s house on Meriwether Road was listed for rent even though she had only put it up for sale through a real estate agency, according to a report from the Clarksville Police Department.

The victim received a call from a woman interested in renting the home, which was fraudulently listed at $1,000 a month and also included electricity and Internet connection, according to the report. She told officers her 2,700-square-foot home would rent for easily double that.

The report said the woman discovered someone had made a legitimate listing of her home as being for sale on different websites and also made an email address that included her name.

On the fraudulent listing, the suspect states he and his family are being transferred to the United Kingdom and they decided to rent the house instead of sell it, the report said.

The victim told officers that as far as she knows, no one has sent the suspect money or shown up at her door saying they rented the house.
