Is this Craigslist rental ad legit or a scam?

[Dan B]

It's a guaranteed scam. Anyone can create a phony Facebook and Craigslist account and send a picture of a phony driver's license. Everything else you suspect points to a scam. No LL uses Western Union. LLs need a bank account for their business related expenses. IRS tax laws, even though they don't require a bank account, the law make it advantageous to LLs to have one strictly for their rental properties. Challenge him and tell the "landlord" that you want to see the room and would like to meet him in NV at his convenience. If he says no, then you say no. Distance is not a problem because I'll guarantee that he will say no he can't because [fictional reason]. I doubt that he lives in the apartment (I'd be surprised if he really did.) Long distance rental arrangements are bad.
