I had this happen about 2 years ago at my primary home in Rye. We are near ocean so also a vacation area. I was watching TV and there was a knock on the door. 4 people had driven down from northern Maine expecting to rent my house. They were very nice and upset they had been scammed. They showed me the ad (I think it was craigs list if I remember right) The address was correct but the pics were not my house. I had them come in and we called police. I was told there was not much they could do. The actual crime occurred in Maine when the booked it and they needed to file a report there. I don't know what became of it.
