This number is being used by a person who calls himself Don Howell who is a real estate scammer. He posted an ad on Craigslist to rent out an apartment in Victoria BC Canada but the apartment does not belong to him. He sends pictures of a furnish apartment, possibly his own, with a rental application form attempting to get takers to send him money by money gram in exchange for keys to the apartment by DHL Courier. I have confirmed that he has swindled one person for $2600 and continues to send people to the apartment building to lure them into a fake rental deal. I know the owner of the building and apartment in Victoria, Mr. Howell, if that is his name, has never lived there, does not own the apartment, yet claims he had to leave because he was transferred for work, thus he cannot show the apartment. DO NOT SEND MONEY TO THIS PERSON
Beware. He is now using the name Larry Fish and advertises on kijiji.ca. He uses the same scheme as before - thats how I know. "He's been relocated and can't show you the apartment but requests you to send money in exchange for the keys."
This person is calling himself Nemecio Paez. now.
Its not just this number...if ANYONE emails you and says transfer money before i send the keys...DO NOT DO IT!!!!
