Victim Location 92114
Type of a scam Rental
I was looking for apartments on the app zumper and I ran across an apt for 1000$ rent I asked for info and recieved this, upon research I saw others across the U.S that also got the same reply and some were even scammed into giving money.
Hello xxxxx,
I’ve received your inquiry about my apartment for rent that I have on 889 Date St, San Diego, CA 92101.
First of all, sorry for the late reply (I had a terrible week at the job). I own the apartment, not subletting or something like that. So the apartment is not shared, you will live alone in the unit (or get a roommate).
This apartment comes fully furnished, ready for move-in as we speak. A clean and quiet apartment with cable TV, high-speed WiFi internet, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Two garaged parking spots and if you prefer to use your own furniture there is a storage unit where I can deposit my furniture before you move in. Well behaved pets are allowed. In my opinion it is the perfect area to live in, quiet and safe neighborhood.
The monthly rent for the entire apartment will be 1000.00- utilities included (electricity, heat, cable, water, sewer). I’m looking for long-term contract (minimum 2 months – maximum is up to you). My job is inspecting offshore oil rigs so I will never bother you during your rental period.
My previous tenants practically destroyed the apartment and I had the entire property completely renovated, everything is brand new (see attached photos). I am looking after good tenants who will treat my property as their own home and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.
Being offshore and with so limited options I must use HomeAway for the rental process. Here is a brief description of how it works:
The process is pretty simple, as owner I need to submit information about my apartment to HomeAway, my details and some documents. Then they will process the tenant’s details as well.
Please reply if you want to know more about the rental process and I will send you the step by step procedure.
Find attached more photos and let me know if you like the apartment.
Best Regards,
