Room for Rent and other rental scams
by anonymous01 Tue Oct 02, 2012 1:31 pm
Hi, I am looking for an apartment to rent for a few days until I reached http://sweethomeapartment.com which offers a great deal. Below is our conversation and the information I collected. Is this the same scammer? Luckily I search the name and found this site.

If this is the same rental scan, I think the site http://sweethomeapartment.com should be found too.

Welcome to ScamWarners MGJ, I am sorry to hear that you were scammed. Sadly there is nothing that can be done to get your money back. Scammers make certain they are really difficult to find them. They are almost always in a country far from where they scam. Scammers are an cancer on the internet.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

So...registered a month ago, for the minimum period, with hidden registrant information. Ridiculously low rents, pets allowed, claim to have properties in multiple countries. All classic signs of a scam.

Our site killers will take a better look, and if they can get the appropriate evidence will get the site reported and killed.
