I hope that my post prevents money loss & that no one falls for this trickery

*Also if anyone is using Roomster to search for rooms/apts be very careful
These two knuckleheads messaged me through that website
Never send $ online unless you've actually seen the place & met with the people & there is a signed agreement! (Always read the fine print,Take your time because your Money is on the line!)


_ Peace& Hugs
Be safe out there
