Apartment rental scammers??
11/14/2015 at 4:56 PM
I'm currently in search for a pet friendly place for my dogs and I and I came across this ebrandon ad about a one bedroom furnished place and they emailed back saying the owner is on a business trip to Paris and his wife and daughter are back in Thompson but would set up a viewing. And I was gonna put the link to the ad here but they have taken it down??
And I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen it and got the same email? His email said:
Hello
I took note of your email. It is a quiet and spacious furnished one bedroom condo available for rent now. Conveniently located on a residential and quiet area close to bus routes. Ideal for a couple or an individual. As you can see in the pictures, the apartment is very clean. It was my daughter that lived therein during her studies. The reason for the rent at this price is in order for the suite not to be left empty without maintenance since my daughter is back home in THOMPSON since she is through with her studies.
The apartment as you can see, is already furnished but if you wish that it be emptied, it will be as you wish but the price remains the same. The amount for the rent is $600 including utilities (water, electricity, heating, internet) I also want to tell you that you'll have to make a 1month rent payment for the apartment (FIRST MONTH), and 1month damage deposit making $1200 that is after visiting apartment and if it suits you as well.
I want you to know that am not in Brandon right now, am out of town on a business trip to Paris, FRANCE, and you can call me by phone on : +33 789 091 442, but my wife and daughter are in Thompson and will accompany you for the visit. Regarding the visit, my wife can move on appointment for you to visit the apartment and eventually sign the lease or short term agreement. If you are serious like you said regarding the rent, below are the necessary details to provide:
