This number connected to someone scamming unsuspecting renters in Tennessee. I knew it sounded too good to be true. They responded to my Craigslist ad seeking a home to accommodate my family. I got the following email from them. From other complaint sites - they always use the same one:
Thanks for the reply, I am a single parent family oriented and a good Christian I am looking for a responsible and neat tenant for my single family home that will take good care of my house.. I had to move to Miami FL after having a surgery due to a car accident that affected my spinal cord to live with my family to get help from them in raising my kids, I never wish to rent out my home but I had to due to my present condition so I decided to rent it out. I've listed the house for sale and I am ready to take it off the market once I get someone who is ready to rent it because I will need the house after 5 years.
You can only driveby the house as I don't have anyone to show you the inside, I will send you the inside pictures so that you can see what the inside of my house looks like because I am not dealing with a realtor concerning the renting of my house as I don't have to pay one and that's why the rent is low and the lower rent should be in exchange for the proper care of my house since I wont be around to take care of my home for a period of time.
My home is in good location with a conducive and good environment to raise kids I also want you to know that my home is in good shape and everything in my home is working perfectly, my home already has amenities such as the refrigerator, dish washer, washer and
dryer with hook ups, stove and gas cooker, all the utilities are also included in the month rent such has gas, electricity, water, garbage and the internet.
If you are still interested in my home I will send you the address of my house,the inside pictures and also send you the application form and once you put down the security deposit I will mail you the keys of the house and have it delivered to you through USPS next day delivery service , I will also email you the lease agreement once you are ready to sign it.
Note: Your deposit is refundable if you are not interested after receiving the keys and viewing the inside.
Call (302) 526-0571
Text (302) 786-1405
kindly send me your personal email address so that I can forward the application and details of the house to you.
You must also provide atleast 2 references when filling the application form
Thanks

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than that.
They emailed me providing this number as a contact to rent a home in my area. They do not own the home, it is a fake ad. They will take your deposit and it will not be returned.
I think you are right, Tom, but it would help to know what area you're in. I'm in the Eugene, OR area.
The number was provided to me as contact for a home for rent also, but the rent is too low, and the wording seems pre-written by someone who's first language isn't English, and who is trying way too hard to rent their house to a total stranger.
