Room for Rent and other rental scams
by Bryon Williams Sat Oct 20, 2012 8:49 pm
This scammer is stealing photos of homes for his scam. He has no rental property. He will claim to rent rooms, apartments and houses across the country. He will use craigslist most of the time. He has a fake website in an attempt to give him credibility. The artwork photos on the site are also stolen. The phone number to call him is set up to send him text voice messages. The text phone number he is using is through a free text service used in many scams

He will have you mail a check, money order to a third party. He will sometimes have you pay via Western Union or Money Gram.

My name is Kyle I am an Sculpture Artist and a responsible Christian, I am looking for responsible and neat tenant for my single family home that can take good care of my house. I moved to Newark, NY After I had a surgery to live with my family to get help from them in raising my kids and also to continue my Art work business since am a single parent.

I've listed the house for sale and I am ready to take it off the market once I get someone who is ready to rent it because I will need the house after 4 years.
You can only driveby the house as I don't have anyone to show you the inside, I will send you the inside pictures so that you can see what the inside of my house looks like because I am not dealing with a realtor concerning the renting of my house as I don't have to pay one and that's why the rent is low and the lower rent should be in exchange for the proper care of my house since I wont be around to take care of my home for a period of time.

My home is in good location with a conducive and good environment to raise kids I also want you to know that my home is in good shape and everything in my home is working perfectly, my home already has amenities such as the refrigerator, dish washer, washer and dryer with hook ups, stove and gas cooker, all the utilities are also included in the month rent such has gas, electricity, water, garbage and the internet.

Click the link below to view the soft copy preview of my xxlinkxxxx and application form.

artofkyle.com/myhome

If you are still interested in my home I will send you the address of my house, the inside pictures and also send you the application form and once you put down the security deposit I will mail you the keys of the house along with hard copy/paper work of the lease agreement which will include my full name, signature, my house address and your move in date, I will have them delivered to you through USPS next day delivery service as soon as you put down the security deposit after which I will for sure know that you are serious about renting my house and I cancel/remove the forsale listing online.

Note: Your deposit is refundable if you are not interested after receiving the keys and viewing the inside.

Thanks for your interest in renting my house, below is the information that you will be sending the money to just go to the nearest Walmart with the cast and tell them you want to send money through Money Gram Transfer.

You will have to get back to me with the sender's name and address, exact amount sent and the 8 digits confirmation reference number that will be given to you once you sent the money.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Hello, I was scammed by this person yesterday! He sent me the same email, and the way I caught on was because I looked up the address and found out the the number of bath rooms were different. That is what made it iffy. Be careful people! :twisted:

Hi there !, i want to say that just last week my daughter in law was contacted by 'who' seems to be this person, although 'it' claimed to be a female. My daughter in law got this exact email however, they were from DE not NY, little did this person know that i worked for years w/ an attorney so i know how to do research well. i went to courthouse and did a title search, now the funny part, the house in question was actually owned by MY current landlord, it was one of his rentals....i also did phone checks, one was listed in OH and the other linked me to this forum. along ways from DE !, i will be handing all the research that i have over to my landlord, not too sure if this person will ever be tracked down, but worth a try !, will keep you all posted :)

He has been talking to me, too!! He's using the email [email protected] and the name Andrew R Sherman. The house he is "renting" is a real house, in my town, and for sale, but he claims he's looking to rent it out now bc he is staying with family in FLA, to have help raising his kids, as he is a single parent and just had surgery for a spinal chord injury due to a car accident. Now, what's interesting, is according to the county treasurer's website, this Andrew R Sherman person really did own the house at one point. So I guess this scammer is probably just using this previous owner's name on his emails to look believable. I just googled this guy's name and he came up on a mugshot website, says he's from Fla, which is where he said he was currently staying, and his charge was "UTTERING A FORGED INSTRUMENT"!! Hmm, sounds to me like he's been busted from scams/fraudulent activity before!! But, since someone by that name DID own the house at one time, maybe that is a different Andrew R Sherman that came up. I am going to my county treasurer's office Tues to let them know someone has their house online and for rent, and also the realtor as well. But I am NOT letting him know I am on to him, as it is now, he thinks my husband and I are talking it over. Wow, still can't believe this guy!!
by savedjenn Sun Mar 17, 2013 9:25 pm
Ok, I have to ask, has anyone on here actually paid this guy money?? I knew from the get-go that it was too good a deal to be true, and even after I saw it was too small for our family, I started researching out of curiosity. I know someone who was in a similar real estate scam ring, and she got caught and is now doing 3-5 yrs in PRISON!! Let's hope this guy gets caught, too!

Ok, sorry, one more thing. Anyone know why he supposedly needs to be able to move back into the house in 4 yrs? If anything, that was a deterrent for me, as I don't want a place I have to move back out of soon. What would make him think ppl would want a house like that short term, and why is he TELLING ppl it needs to be short term? Just wondered. :-)

I received the email below just today - the person has not given me a name but the email shows up as "Prett Home."

Thanks for the reply, I am a single parent family oriented and a good Christian I am looking for a responsible and neat tenant for my single family home that will take good care of my house.. I had to move to Dover, DE after having a surgery due to a car accident that affected my spinal cord to live with my family to get help from them in raising my kids, I never wish to rent out my home but I had to due to my present condition so I decided to rent it out.I've listed the house for sale and I am ready to take it off the market once I get someone who is ready to rent it because I will need the house after 5 years.

You can only driveby the house as I don't have anyone to show you the inside, I will send you the inside pictures so that you can see what the inside of my house looks like because I am not dealing with a realtor concerning the renting of my house as I don't have to pay one and that's why the rent is low and the lower rent should be in exchange for the proper care of my house since I wont be around to take care of my home for a period of time.

My home is in good location with a conducive and good environment to raise kids I also want you to know that my home is in good shape and everything in my home is working perfectly, my home already has amenities such as the refrigerator, dish washer, washer and dryer with hook ups, stove and gas cooker, all the utilities are also included in the month rent such has gas, electricity, water, garbage and the internet.

If you are still interested in my home I will send you the address of my house, the inside pictures and also
send you the application form and once you put down the security deposit I will mail you the keys of the house and have it delivered to you through USPS next day delivery service , I will also email you the lease agreement once you are ready to sign it.
Note: Your deposit is refundable if you are not interested after receiving the keys and viewing the inside.

Call (302) 526-0571
Text (302) 703-7927

kindly send me your personal email address so that I can forward the application and details of the house to you.

You must also provide atleast 2 references when filling the application form
Thanks

I am looking for a tenant to rent my single family home. I am from Missouri I moved to California after having a surgery to live with my sister and help me raise my kids. I listed the house for sale with a realtor but I thought if I could get a renter myself it would be better not to sell my property, I am ready to take it off the market once I get a renter.



You can driveby the house as I don't have anyone to show the inside of the house, I will send both inside and outside pictures with the address and application to you,I am renting it out myself cause the Realtor do charge lot of money, my home is in a conducive and perfect location with all utilities and amenities included in the rent.




Thanks

[b]Me:[/b] he is still texting me at this number and I never gave him any information and I haven't sent him any money. I contacted the local police station about it and they wont do anything about it, so I contacted the florida police station and they wont do anything about it. nobody wont do anything about this and there is no way that I can do anything about this if anyone knows what I could possibly do about this please send me and email at <Removed to prevent scammers & spammers - CW>
He still thinks that I don't know he is a scammer as of today and is still texting me from the number above.
by Dotti Mon Apr 07, 2014 12:54 pm
The problem is the police can't really do much.

He is not in Florida, and has never been in Florida. He is overseas, most likely in Western Africa or Malaysia. The phone number is a VOIP number, which means that it really doesn't support his location at all.

There may or may not be a person named Lewis living at the address he gave you for WU (but there are other tricks used to collect money as well.) If there is, he is just a mule who collects and forwards the money. He may be an accomplice, but he is equally likely to be a victim who believes he has a legitimate job collecting payments or donations, or someone who has fallen for a romance scam and thinks that he is receiving the money for a good (and honest) reason.

Since the police can't do anything about overseas criminals, and no money has been lost, they just can't dedicate the resources to this scam. That's why it is so important that we educate people and help them to avoid losing money in the first place.

Apparently the scammer is still active and hasn't needed to change his/her email address. That's how I found this site. I knew that it was fishy after there was no name, address or photos sent by the second correspondence. I haven't replied to the most recent email and haven't indicated that I know anything's up. He/she also hasn't asked for $ yet either. This is the dialogue so far (newest to oldest):
