Rental Scammer - [email protected]

Here is one I received today, I am glad I did some research cause I just about went for it. There are several gorgeous pictures attached as well. But when I went back to the original Kijiji link I replied to it was gone, which is what raised my suspicions. Beware out there. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Hey,

Thank you for your interest in my apartment located in 10024 Jasper Avenue Northwest, Edmonton, AB T5J 1R2 . The apartment is in excellent condition and it's just like in the pictures, very clean and very well taken. Honestly from point of view I'm sure that you will rent it on spot. I'm not looking to make a business or a profit with the apartment, I'm just trying to find a good and trust person to take good care of the place. The apartment has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It is furnished but if you want you can use your furniture and deposit mine in the storage unit that is located near the building not far away. The rent is 640 CAD/month with everything included (heat, hydro, water, electricity, cable and internet-full package from Rogers, 2 parking spots, laundry in-suite, washer and dryer). You will have full access to all the amenities of the building. Pets are allowed. I stayed in the apartment with my wife for 3 months. I'm a civil engineer and I work for a company that has an auction for a project in construction in London, United Kingdom, so my accommodation period in England will be about 4 years. Everything in the apartment is new so there will be no need for repairs.

Thank you and look forward hearing from you!
David

PS : I attached you all the pictures that I have with the apartment ( as you can see everything is in absolutely perfect condition ) .

Hi everyone. Thanks for posting about this guy. He is trying to run the same scam here in Vancouver, BC under the name David Piatek. Almost fell for it but I knew it was too good to be true. Rent in this area should have been 2x the price. Anyway I copied his posting on craigslist in case the ad is taken down, you can see what he put:

Subject Line: $1200 / 2br - 2BR Condo in Coal Harbour

*2 photos attached* with text below:
Gorgeous 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in Vancouver's premier landmark residence tower.
Lavishly furnished with both antique and contemporary designs, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Below is a copy of the email I received from him today along with 21 HD photos of an apt. in Vancouver. BTW this is from the email address [email protected]:

Hello M****** ,

Thank you for your reply. As I told you before the rent for 1 month will be 870CAD and damage deposit 870CAD ( last month) with no extra fees and you will have full access to all the amenities of the building. The price will not increase for the whole period that you will stay there. I would also like to know how many people will live in the apartment and also which rental contract do you prefer- 6 months or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal. The monthly payments can be wired to my Canadian Bank Account (TD Bank) or we can setup a payment method that is suitable for both of us.

The apartment is in excellent condition, you only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check it out, and see if you like it. Since at this moment I'm in London, United Kingdom and obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal.The solution is a worldwide third party company called SparkRent (www.sparkrent.com) ,they will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package

We use this company to see that you are an trusting and serious person. They will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package . With this procedure you will be able to check the apartment before I receive the payment. Please be aware that is NOT necessary for you to register with SparkRent given that I'm a registered user for 4 years and I've made over 30 transactions with them so far. They are really professional and they have great services.

My phone number is +44 203 286 0908 (if you are calling from Canada you may need to dial 011-44-203-286-0908). You can call me or e-mail anytime you wish.

Let me know if you are interested so I can provide with all the steps of this transaction . You need to know everything about this process before we get this started. I think is right for both of us.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

-------------------------------------------------------

the strange thing is my friend went by the apparent building and this apartment seems to be available to rent. We are looking into the matter a little further to see if we can get any information on the guy

He's doing it in Edmonton under the name Christopher Linser and using the email address [email protected]

It seems legit right up until he asks you for the money up front before you even get to see the apartment. The rent is ridiculous cheap for a furnished bachelor downtown - about half of what you would expect to pay. He sends pictures of a beautiful suite and even sends a picture of his passport to prove he is legit. Thank god I searched his name before I sent any money and found this thread.

One of the few emails he sent me:

Thank you for your reply. As I told you before the rent for 1 month will be 580CAD and damage deposit 580CAD ( last month) with no extra fees and you will have full access to all the amenities of the building. The price will not increase for the whole period that you will stay there. I would also like to know how many people will live in the apartment and also which rental contract do you prefer- 6 months or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal.

And there is this one too:

This transaction is not made face to face, this is the whole reason for using SparkRent, for both of us to be 100% protected. For security and for your peace of mind I had attached an copy of my PASSPORT to see that I am very serious about everything.

Regarding the process, you will only have to deposit to SparkRent the first month of rent from contract and damage deposit 580 $ + 580 $ = 1160 $ CAD so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the rental package (keys and documents). I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the keys and the contract signed by me right away. I will explain you step by step how this process will work:

Chris

He sent me a few emails every day until I searched him and found out it was a scam. As soon as I emailed him back saying I knew it was a scam and I would be reporting him he immediately stopped sending me emails. Does anyone know how I can go about reporting him? It makes me sick to my stomach that there are people out there doing this and even more sick to my stomach that I almost fell for it! Ugh.

Here is the Email Exchange

Hi Chris,
Sure, I am not sure how this is for you as I am only looking for a place from May 1-Aug. 31. You are likely looking for a renter for at least 6 months.

If this short time frame is still ok, then I would like to know what I need to do to be able to view the place. I checked out Cozy, and assuming I would need to fill out a rental application.


Thanks,

Hello! I have had the same exact thing happen to me. Report him to authorities and also watch out for a man who calls himself James donohoe also claiming to be a civil engineer who "won" an auction in Rome. "James" contacted me in late February. And this "Chris" person. Has tried in the past week. Good luck and be careful!

Hey,

Thank you for your interest in my apartment located in 1111 - 6 Avenue Southwest, T2P 5M5. The apartment is in excellent condition and it's just like in the pictures, very clean and very well taken. Honestly from point of view I'm sure that you will rent it on spot. I'm not looking to make a business or a profit with the apartment, I'm just trying to find a good and trust person to take good care of the place. The apartment has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It is furnished but if you want you can use your furniture and deposit mine in the storage unit that is located near the building not far away. The rent is 760 CAD/month with everything included (heat, hydro, water, electricity, cable and internet-full package, 2 parking spots, laundry in-suite, washer and dryer). You will have full access to all the amenities of the building. Pets are allowed. I stayed in the apartment with my wife for 3 months. I'm a civil engineer and I work for a company that has an auction for a project in construction in London, United Kingdom, so my accommodation period in United Kingdom will be about 4 years Everything in the apartment is new so there will be no need for repairs.

Thank you and look forward hearing from you!
Chris

And another email:
Hello ,

Thank you for your reply. As I told you before the rent for 1 month will be 760CAD and damage deposit 760CAD ( last month) with no extra fees and you will have full access to all the amenities of the building. The price will not increase for the whole period that you will stay there. I would also like to know how many people will live in the apartment and also which rental contract do you prefer- 6 months or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal. The monthly payments can be wired to my Canadian Bank Account (TD Bank) or we can setup a payment method that is suitable for both of us.

The apartment is in excellent condition, you only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check it out, and see if you like it. Since at this moment I'm in London, United Kingdom and obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal.The solution is a worldwide third party company called SimplifiedRental (http://www.SimplifiedRental.com) ,they will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package

We use this company to see that you are an trusting and serious person. They will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the rental package . With this procedure you will be able to check the apartment before I receive the payment. Please be aware that is NOT necessary for you to register with SimplifiedRental given that I'm a registered user for 4 years and I've made over 30 transactions with them so far. They are really professional and they have great services.

My phone number is +44 20 3286 8996 (if you are calling from Canada you may need to dial 011-44 20 3286 8996). You can call me or e-mail anytime you wish.

Let me know if you are interested so I can provide with all the steps of this transaction . You need to know everything about this process before we get this started. I think is right for both of us.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

Chris
