Room for Rent and other rental scams

My name is Rob Bennett, I am the owner of the apartment at 12510 Queens Blvd #1023 Queens, NY 11415. The monthly rent is $1200,security is $700.Presently, I am in Canada working as the Executive VP, Retail Financial Services, ATB Financial, Calgary, Canada. I can come down to show you the apartment if i am convinced that you are serious. The initial plan was to sell the apartment. which we tried, but the Realtor inflated the prize hence taking more time to sell, because of this reason, we need a responsible person that will take very good care of the apartment. Most importantly ,a serious and trust worthy person who will be willing to pay the rent without delay.
Note; the move-in cost is the total amount of 1 month rent and a security deposit. As a very busy person I would only take my time to fly down to the US for you to preview the apartment, only if you accept to pay the above move-in cost after seeing the apartment.
FURNITURE : Apartment is fully furnished but if you are moving in with your furniture there is a storage room in the unit where you could keep our furniture.

hello animekktty2015
The email that you posted is from a scammer. If the "landlord" makes any excuse why he can't show you the property in person the best thing to do is to walk away and look elsewhere.
Never send a security deposit or rent money before in person inspection of the property.

The contact telephone number (920) 234-8914 is a VoIP - Bandwidth SMSEnabled in Sheboygan Falls, WI.
This means the scammer can be located anyhere there is a high speed internet connection.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
