What a scam! Trying to rent a lakefront property in Weatherford, Texas. Sniffed out this scam pretty quickly when they wouldnt send any form of documentation (power of attorney) showing that they had right to rent the property. Went to the property and by stroke of luck, spoke with the brother of the owner. He was there doing some maintenance. He pretty much capped it all off when he gave us the name of his nephew who would be handling any transactions, and it didn't match the caller.
Caller texted and called from 214-716-7463. Spoke in broken English.

Does anyone ever fall for this? This "well spoken" individual has contacted me 6 times in the last 3 days, trying to pressure me into giving him a deposit. Well, at least that's what I can make out from his poorly constructed broken English messages.
