I responded to an apartment rental listing on Craigslist Los Angeles.
The response came from a "Stacey Nash" who also happens to be the name of an actress, asking me to submit a credit application before meeting with me or giving me an address, etc.
When I searched the domain name, it returned an address at 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA.
This addresss has been reported with another domain name listed the ScamWarners site associated with credit card fraud. It appears they have simply registered another domain name and are back in business. Below is the email I received from this entity.
"Hi,
I'm sorry for the delay! I was very busy last few days. The great news is that the unit is still available . There was a person who had significant interest in the unit, but he lost his job, so we need to start showing it again, as we want to get it rented as soon as we can. Considering you had emailed us first, regarding the rental, we are giving you first right of refusal.
The unit is in excellent condition. We know a lot of prospective renters want to take a quick look at the property, regardless, our policy is not to divulge the address, as there are some lunatics in the world with bad intentions. The last time we gave out the address without verifying the prospective tenant. We don't want that to happen again. I’ll confirm what you probably already know this property is gorgeous! A property like this would typically go for much more, but again, we need to lease it asap, which is why the lease rate is a tremendous value.
The utilities are intact and can be switched over to you once the lease is signed. You will be responsible for cable, internet, and phone - if you decide to have these services. Pets are allowed but just need to know the size and breed for our records. The rental term is 12-month lease, but can be switched to a 6-month lease, if that is more favorable. The only requirement is that you send us 30 days notice, when you want to move out of the unit.
If you would like to set up an appointment, go to the link below and request the free copy of your rental / credit report. The scores are insignificant – we realize many folks have had foreclosures, bankruptcy, etc. For insurance purposes, we are required to have a report on file from every prospective tenant. Here is the link: http://123link.info/c0f133400628464604c4c24f7f28af5f
The only pages we require are regarding your rental history. You just need to bring that to your appointment to see the property.
My availability over the next few days is going to be constrained, but I will try to be available between 10am and 8pm. After you have completed the online process, let me know that you have a hard copy and I can schedule an appointment at the rental.
See you soon!
