Type of a scam Rental
I found the scammer on Roomster.com they were trying to rent out a house for sale on Zillow. Com the address is * ******** ****** Asheville, NC. I never spoke to them in person, just text. They said they would rent a room for $350 security deposit and $350 a month for rent. They told me when they got my $700 they would fedex the keys to me. The whole thing seemed too good to be true. They said they didn’t deal with realtors, but there was a realtor lock on the door.
