Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Funkenstein Thu Jun 30, 2011 1:20 pm
My name is Sam Lamb, I am the owner of the apartment at 593 President Street #3R, Brooklyn NY . The monthly rent is $770,security is the same as rent $770.Presently, i am in Canada working as the Vice President, Card Service at 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 2 months 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.

I found a deal that was too good to be true. Guess what? It was!! This person has been using the same name and Google Voice # while posting ads on Craigslist for rental properties. He sends the same form letter and responses to any person who responds to the post. It's an absolute scam and it seems like a few people have fallen for it. I've contacted Google about canceling his phone account and I plan on policing Craigslist for his posts and marking them as spam. I hope someone sees this and doesn't fall for this. The fact that he cloaks himself as a religious person to appear more trustworthy guarantees him a special place in hell.
