Room for Rent and other rental scams

In reply back to a Craigslist ad, this person is impersonating "Tom Keens" and claims to have an apartment for rent; he in fact doesn't and will just try and fraud you out of a security deposit through money gram, uses the email address <[email protected]> :

My name is Mr Tom keen, I own the $920 per month apartment located at 3725 Henry Hudson Parkway, Bronx NY 1046. I am the chief technology officer at blue star energy. Chicago IL. I can come down to show you the apartment if i am convinced that you are serious about renting. My wife and I 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 NY for you to preview the apartment, sign the lease and move in 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. All utilities are included in the rent.

312) 857-3571 for more information

THE LEASE IS FLEXIBLE (3 MONTHS) (6MONTHS) (1YEAR) (2YEARS)
