Total money lost $200
Type of a scam Rental
I called a number on Craigslist in the Home apartment housing section. I called & was told to bring check stubs ID. Info and $200.00 cash or money order. I went to the place of business and went inside an office. Met 2 young men both Latino. They were warm and welcoming. I was given business cards and told that the $200.00 deposit was to hold the property first come first serve. I was also told it will be refunded if I do not like the property. They told me to call on Saturday to book an appointment to view the apartment I’m interested in. I was given paper work, applications for the property and everything seemed legit. When I got home I decided to Yelp their reviews. Sure enough I see one stars from all kinds of reviews even stating that the business is a SCAM that they are taking peoples money and there is no Property affiliation what so ever. I am out $200.00 and no apartment to be seen. These guys are con artist at its Finest. Very disappointed. I also believe they are doing bad things with our identity and check stub info. I never felt so sick in my entire life. Paper work, business cards the entire thing is a set up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DISCUSTED!
