Andrew Apartment Rentals

Victim Location 92084

Type of a scam Rental

I contacted him to sublet an apartment in Pacifc Beach San Diego. He asked for my general information (email, cell phone name ect.) Then after we went over the pricing he said he would send me a contract then the banking details for the payment, and that after that I could take the receipt he’d give with the contract printed up and show them to the front desk when they would give me my key. Well I told Andrew I was very uncomfortable with this and I couldn’t just send me $3,000 with just his promise a pdf contract and pdf receipt he emailed to me. I asked if I could fill this contract out send it to him then bring a copy with me to the apartment where I could pay the balance there and someone could show me around and give me my key. Andrew told me this was impossible because he was located in the bay area and the actual owner of the apartment was out of state, so I said there has to be someone who can meet me there and show the place to me before I send the money. He once again said no and if I didn’t like it I should look for another place, so I told him this was extremely unprofessional and by its very nature sketchy and was definitely not the way you are supposed to do business. He then hung up on me and refused any further communication with me. I can only judge based on my observations and interactions with Andrew that his company is a scam, and is preying on desperate people who have no option but to sublet. He needs to be stopped.
