Found a house for rent on Craigslist. Some guy named "Rev. Jose S. Garcia." Definitely a scam. They will tell you that they live out of state and that you have to send money before you can get the keys.
I was serching for a house, and send two e-mails to two different addresses. I recieved the same response, exactly the same, for the two e-mails signed with two different names, one was Rev. Samuel Will and Familily and the other Rev. Jeff H. Gatz and familiy. So I think this is very fishy, and be careful because I look for this number and I found it for another house in Texas.
I got the information/number concerning a house in Lexington Ky. Is this an Identity theft set up?
the person's name was
Rev. Jimmie E Keaton & Family.
we got an email about a house in lex 4608 hickory creek, pva shows the house is owned by Your Home Soluutions. I did a search on Jimmie Keaton and there was an obituary on him from 2014. I would say this is a scam.
Looks like a common house rental scam to me. Never rent property sight unseen. Work with a local real estate broker who is licensed by the state. Always do a walkthough with your agent and the owner or owner's agent. Verify that your are dealing with the proper person. Never pay by cash or untraceable means and always pay in person and demand a written receipt and a written lease. Yes, this is a little more trouble and expense, but it is well worth it.
This number is the one that replied to me as well going by Rev. Zaquery B Steagall. i am really glad i found this post. the house is owned by a man by that name but he isn't a Rev. and isn't renting the house either.
