Tried to rent an apartment in San Diego from out of state. Sent him a check for first months rent and deposit. He never sent me the keys and it turns out the apartment is occupied by someone else. Do not do business with "John Willey" or anyone with this phone number.
Well, "Me" and everyone else...he's still at it. His emails are all exactly the same as above. But he has become more "sophisticated". For the listing in Huntington Beach, CA, he's now posting on Zillow. I forwarded all of his emails to the real estate broker that has the listing for this apartment.
