Hi,

I hope you're doing well. The good news is that the apartment is still available! We thought we had the place leased to a couple we showed it to today, but now it seems that they're no longer interested, so we need to lease it as soon as possible. You were the 2nd one to email me about it.

I bet you will want to do a walkthrough of the place, but my husband doesn't want me to advertise the address for safety reasons. Last time we did that without being diligent, it was broken into and torn apart. As you can imagine, we want to avoid that! You will be responsible for cable, internet, and phone, if you decide to have these services. Just to confirm, we DO allow pets at this property. The rental term is one year, but can be switched into a 6-month lease if preferred. We require one month notice before moving out, as a courtesy.

When you're ready for a personal appointment, then please go to the link below and grab your free credit score. All of our tenants use this site because Transunion is widely trusted. Just fill out the form and indicate that you want the score. We are not concerned with any negative marks, it's more of a formality to have it on file, to make sure there are no previous property related issues. You can get your free credit score at CLICK HERE

Remember, we only need to see the page about the rental history. That will be all you will need to bring with you to the showing. We typically waive the security deposit with a rating of 550+.

Give me a heads up when you have an updated version of your credit history. Then I'll schedule you for a walk through. I look forward to showing you the place!

Thank you,
Susan Reed

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.

Hello,

How is everything for you today? The apartment is still vacant. We thought we had the place leased to a couple that we gave a tour to today, but now it seems that they changed their mind, so we need to rent it as soon as possible. You were the 2nd one to email me about it.

I know you will want to do a walking tour of the property, but my husband doesn't want me to advertise the address as a measure of safety. Last time we did that without verifying people, it was broken into and vandalized. As you can imagine, we want to avoid that! You will be responsible for cable, internet, and phone, if you decide to have these services. Just to confirm, we DO allow pets at this property. The rental term is one year, but can be switched into a 6-month term if preferred. We require one month notice before moving out, as a courtesy.

When you're ready for a personal appointment, then please go to the link below and grab your credit score. We use this site for all the properties we manage since it's free through Transunion. All you need to do is fill out the form and you get your score We aren't interested in specifics, it's more of a formality to have it on file, to make sure there are no previous property related issues. You can get your free credit score at CLICK HERE

Remember, we only need to see the page about the rental history. That will be all you will need to bring with you to the showing. We'll waive your security deposit if your score is above 560+.

Once you let me know that you have your credit history ready, then I'll personally schedule a walk through of the place. I know that you'll love it!

Thanks, Susan Reed

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. The good news is that the apartment is still available! We thought we had the place leased to a couple that stopped by to see the place, but now it seems that they're not moving for their job, so we need to lease it as soon as possible. You were the second one to respond regarding it.

I know you will want the exact address of the property, but my husband doesn't want me to advertise the address for safety reasons. Last time we did that without verifying people, the empty property was broken into and torn apart. As you can imagine, we want to avoid that! We are waiting to setup a walk through until you get your credit report. You will be responsible for cable, internet, and phone, if you decide to have these services. Just to confirm, we DO allow pets at this property for the first time. The rental term is 12 month lease, but can be switched into a 6-month lease if preferred. We require one month notice before moving out, as a courtesy.

If you would like to set up an appointment, go to the link below and request a copy of your score. We recommend this site because all of our tenants used it and never had any problems. Just fill out the form and indicate that you want the score. What is in the report isn't important to us, it's more of a formality to have it on file, to make sure there are no previous property related issues. You can get it for free at CLICK HERE

Keep in mind that we are only interested in the page about the rental history. That will be all you will need to bring with you to the showing. We typically waive the security deposit with a score of 550+.

Once you let me know that you have your credit history ready, then I'll personally schedule a showing of the place. I know that you'll love it!

Thanks again,
Marie Baker

Hello xxxxxxx,

Good to talk to you. The unit you want is available. We thought we had the unit leased to someone that we gave a walk-through to today, but now it seems that they're no longer changing residence, so we need to keep searching. You were the second one to contact me.

I bet you want the exact address of the property, but my husband doesn't want me to advertise the address as a measure of safety. Last time we did that without being diligent, the empty property was broken into and ripped up. We don't want that to happen again! That is why we require you to confirm you recieved your updated credit report before we setup a tour.You will be responsible for cable, internet, and phone, if you decide to have these services. For the FIRST time, we are allowing pets at this property. The rental term is 12 month lease, but can be switched into a 6-month term if preferred. We just ask that you give us fair notice if you are moving out.

If you would like to set up an appointment, go to the link below and request a copy of your credit report. We use this site since it's it gives you 3 scores. All you need to do is fill out the form and you get your report We aren't interested in specifics of your score, it's more of a formality to ensure you have rental history. Simply get your report by CLICKING HERE

Remember, print out the report and bring it to the tour.. We typically waive the security deposit with a rating of 620+.

Let me know when you have an updated version of your credit report. Then I'll schedule you for a walk through.

Thanks,
Kim Vaughn
