It is one of the more popular places to stay in Miami for families and couples on vacation. Unit A is 1,500 square feet and is one of three four bedroom Miami lodging condos .. This first floor, vacation rental has four oversized bedrooms, two bathrooms and will sleep up to ten people comfortably.
The living room in Unit A is spacious and has modern, trendy furnishings that include two rich brown convertible-sofas, coordinating coffee table and wall mounted, flat screen TV. There is a separate dining room with a contemporary and eight matching high-back chairs. The custom kitchen has beautiful marble counter tops, new wood cabinetry and all stainless steel appliances. There kitchen also has a clothes washer and dryer.
The seller, a Mr Samuel Miller, responded saying it was available and needed $400 + $200 security, a total of $800. After getting in contact with him by phone I noticed that the phone number was from out of state, not Florida. He also had a heavy accent like Haitian or French African. I knew right away that something wasn't right and looked up his phone number 504-355-3301. It turns out he is a scammer.
Never pay people like these with Western Union, you will loose your money ! Lucky for me I didn't
