+title: "My House Is Not for Rent"
+date: 2023-10-10T20:04:20-07:00
+draft: false

+
+This is a departure from the things I normally post here, but I want to put
+an important PSA on the internet... and hopefully prevent some folks from
+getting ripped off.
+
+1. I may be the only "Eamon Caddigan" there is, and I'm almost certainly the
+   only one in Southern California
+2. My house is **not for rent**
+
+Scammers are using readily available information[^info] to pose as landlords
+and steal people's money by asking for "application fees" to properties they
+don't own. I've had several families come by my house, either to warn me
+about the scam or (more tragically) to find out what happened to their
+money. It's mildly inconvenient for me, but so much worse for anybody who's
+wasted their time or money on this.
+
+I'll elaborate on this, but I just had another couple knock on my door after
+dinner and I need to get the word out.
