Who called from 2396906579

I received a similiar email from Gary Smith at [email protected] phone number 510-606-7616,  for a "stunning apartment in Fenway (Boston).  such a scam.  I googled the address of the property he provided (180 Brookline) and found out that Oakwood does coroporate rentals there, I called and they referred me to the leasing agent at 180-Brookline and confirmed that it was a scam.  All leases go through them and they do not lease anything less than 3 months in the Boston area.   I

There are so many scam artists out there, if you're not familiar with the city it's so easy to get scammed.

My family is planning a trip to San Diego this summer.  Our hotel is already book, but my husband thought it would be nice to rent a condo on the beach. Of all places he search CL, he was real excited about a listing from cozycondohomes. I refused to cancel our hotel reservations until he researched the company. Of course there is no such company. We became very suspicious when Tony asked us to send him a cashier check. We search some more on the internet and come across numerous SCAM ALERTS in Mission Beach. If sounds to good to be true run! We immediately stop all communications with this person. PLEASE BEWARE of this scam!
