Got the same email and phone call today. Ridiculous! I am tired of so many scams out there wasting our time. If anyone has found away to report these crooks, please let everyone else know. It would be my pleasure to keep things like this from happening again!
Yes, they were trying to scam me for two days, I let them to believe that I was stupid. Finally, I said to he that I am no interesting anymore because it was unclear situation. And yes the trying to collect money from rents..
I've been corresponding with these people for the last two days via text, email and I have a voice recording. They said they chose me to be their tenant and their attorney's name: Sam Olsen (mind you that name is the Attorney General of GA and his phone number is 312-473-0023) You honestly think that the Attorney General is traveling viewing homes to rent!!! I DON'T THINK SO!!! I am saving all my information and handing it over to the Authorities. I know I won't see the $500 but it's A HARD LESSON LEARNED! I should have noticed that when I looked at the Zillow site it had three different agents, and they were so persistant in receiving the money but refused to give me ANY information. ALSO BEWARE OF THESE NUMBERS as it is involved with them: 281-845-7655, 405-367-5808 and 405-563-3108.
They say they have a house, needed to move because of the job and now the house is vacant. Will charge $1200 incl utilities in a gated community. $1000 down. They will Fedex the keys and the attorney will come visit to sign the papers. She says she's a God fearing woman. He has a thick accent, sounds from the islands. DON'T BE FOOLED!!! I also have an email address: name being used: Lorraine M. Corsaro, the name for the Western Union: Lori Quast
