vROOM REALTY, LLC. this is a SCAM!!!

My husband and I have been looking for a place to live in South beach Florida.

We ran into this post on craigs list about a a nice apartment on the beach.

We finally found out it was a scam thanks to this website before we sent money to them.

We Even set up an appointment to meet with them but we got lucky and had to reschedule.

They ask for a western union wire transfer to "reserve the apartment"

The phone #s arent legit.

Please be aware of these kinds of scams!

I am just shocked at how all this worked out, and there really are people out there doing this !

We decided to ignore after we realize it was a scam. I am glad we didnt make any type of payments and i feel horrible for people that did.

if you have any questions you can contact me anytime. I will be happy to help.
