Hi Michelle, I got the same email recently -- is this a scam? The application process and website seemed fairly put together, so I'm really unsure. Thanks so much!

As i am not around to show the inside, you can go check out the house and the neighborhood from the outside and get back to me if you really like it for more information.

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.

Thanks for choosing my home and remain bless.

Respectfully submitted,
Anderson James Price.

Yeah I am in contact with them as well and got the same exact mail and really unsure about whether to go ahead or not. The thing is that there rent seems quite low for their location and the space they are offering. On top of it, the subletter Angela Plunkett has no web presence which makes it even more weird.

It's a scam, that is why Michelle posted it here - the property doesn't exist, the scammer just wants to steal from you.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
