Room for Rent and other rental scams

Same thing happened to me. However in the state of California. The same donald brian selling a home because he is out of state taking care of business being director of healh for a program called health remeasures and services. Except he used this email : [email protected]

Everything he told me sounded way to good to be true. I almost fell for his story. He tried to pull the same thing, it sounded a bit fishy I did my research and came across this exact thing.

This person says he is going to rent his home but he does not even owe it. He makes it sounds so believable and asks for money. However, I asked him to prove to me he is the actual owner and to send a picture of his family just they way he asks and he never replied.

I did fall for is at first I replied to his questions but I knew something was up before I continued I researched his name up and so I began to question him here are the emails.

In case you see any sign board, they are the Realtor in charge of my house before I decided to take over by my self. I am no more working with them and don't bother to contact them because formerly i wanted to sell the house before me and my Lovely Family now decided to rent it out instead of selling it out.

This is when I begin to think question myself and research because he asks for money next. Thankfully I did not send him money and I found this guy he wants to scam you for money and not respond. I replied questioning him if he is real the owner and to prove to me that he is the owner by sending me a photo of ownership before I send him money and asked him to send me a picture just as he did. Sure enough he wants me to respond right away but he cant seem to respond to my questions.
I did my research this place inst even for rent!!!!
People please do your research, dont get scammed. educate yourself. Find out if the home is really for sale. Dont send any money before seeing the place. Dont send money to people you dont know. Dont get fooled by a place that is "cheap"
