I also wanted to rent an apartment from them. Found them on Craigslist - a very nice apartment in NY for a good price. After a while I got curios although everything sounded nice. I found this article and I had luck. Didn't wire the money and cancelled all - no response. This is definitely Scam!!
Don't Rent!
I just saw your posting. Benny and Christa Martinez are posting a condo on Craigslist in Ocean City, MD. I was just getting ready to wire them the money when I had a hunch to check on line. How do you know this is a scam? If so, I am so grateful to you for alerting all of us who are trusting souls. I can't afford to lose that money! Please reply.
I got scammed too. STAY AWAY!! At least I found out before I drove down. When I spoke to the office person at the condo, she told me that 3 other families just showed up and that's when they found out they were scammed.
They got me too. Ocean City Police claim they can't do anything because the crime wasn't actually committed in Ocean City. Unbelievable how these people can continue to get away with these scams and we can't get anyone to do anything about it. I even told the police I found similar postings on craigslist today and they still say there's nothing they can do.
