Found home on Zillow that was first listed for sale for $10,000.00 so I filled out the information for them to contact me... I received a text from them:
Text 1: Hello, This is the landlord about the house for rent the one at 2210 Iris Drive #0, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 so are you really interested in my property?
Text 2: Me - No I am sorry ... I thought it was a home for sale... But thank you for getting back with me.
Text 3: My home is also available for sale for $10,000 ok
Text 4: Me -Wow… Why are you selling so cheap?
Text 5: Because the money is not the problem, am just looking for a serious buyer to my home ASAP
Text 6: Me - Do you have a realtor locally that would let me in to see the property
Text 7: My home is not listed under any realtor company, because they inflated my price and was requesting much from me that was why I collected my keys from them and selling out my home myself ok
Text 8: Me - Are you in Sierra Vista for me to be able to see the inside?
Text 9: Am in Texas right now due to my work ok,, I just sent you all the information you need to know about the house now, go and check your email ok
Text 10: Did you get it?
Text 11: Me - Yes and will get back to you
((((This is the email that was sent to me))) (((continuing Texts on the bottom)))
My home is also available for sale. The main reason our house is up for SALE is because I got transferred from my place of work to TEXAS , I and my family will be away for at least a couple of 12 to 13 years, so that is why i decided selling my property out in a cheaper price, so as to get a buyer asap, i wont be back in state to show you the property,and also i got nobody in town right now, this is the only way i can sell my home out to you ok, i will be mailing the keys and documents of my home via FedEx company down to your present home address, you have to secure my home first with a deposit of $1,850, so as to get my keys sent out to you via FedEx and also your money is refundable once you get my keys and you dont like the inside you tell me and i refund your money back and you send me my keys back ok, but once you view the inside of my property and you love what you see, we can then go from there, i will get the necessary documents of my home mail out to you then for you to sign,after we are done with that, you can then come up with the balance of the payments ok..

Text 12: Okay just keep me posted, God Bless you
Text 13: Me - Wow... How can you say God Bless You when you are a scammer... your phone number is all over the internet... Nice Try... And now GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
No other correspondence from them... Wow wonder why they wont text me back... LMAO ---
First of all who says ok that much?
Second why did you text with your phone number showing? Knowing that people can look it up on the internet?
Third I am sorry for the people that send that much money site unseen???
Not me...
Thank you to all the previous posters about this number!!!!
This "Robert Gundlach" posted a BEAUTIFUL 4 bedroom house for rent for $800. It was too good to be true!!!!
He asked us to send him via mail deposit and first months rent,.....THEN he would send us the keys in the mail!!! hahahahahah!!!!!! Once we caught on to him he told me to "F*&^ off!"
And let me add....
He told us there was no way for us to see the house before because he was not around. So we were apparently suppose to send money for a house we've never seen. RED FLAG!!!!
Stay AWAY!!!!!
What's rule #1 of a wire transfer? (Western Union, MoneyGram, etc) NEVER send money to someone you do not personally know. NEVER. You can be sure that your house renter is sitting in an internet cafe in Africa.
Yes yes Badge!!!
I hear ya!!!
Glad we didn't fall for it! Too bad the good ole boy system didn't still exit! ( if it did he'd be a rich man)
Shame on him for doing this! There should be a law against this.
