I responded to Craigslist ad for a vac house in Santa Barbara. I kinda knew it was too good to be true, plus the email I got back had bad grammer & English. Be-careful , It's a scam!!!!. Since I know alot about RE properties, he couldn't answer any of my questions I bumbarded him with so he hang up. Go to the county records find out who owns the property, don't be a VICTIM!
I am so thankful for this posting...I was looking to rent a Chicago condo available through John Giebler. Same thing... 1/2 fee plus refundable security deposit! i'll be looking elsewhere now!
I was looking for a rental place for summer vacation in San Diego and looked at the Craigslist (which was a wrong decision). couple guys got back to me : one is john Giebler another one is Jeff Robinson.
they both offered me great rentals for $200/night (normally costs over $400/night). in the end I rejected John's offer and went along with Jeff Robinson. then he asked me to WIRE money to an account in Gerogia. it raised the red flag and I decided to pass.
his phone number is 619-356-6634. I never talked to him over the phone so I am not sure if he has accent or not. but I am glad I googled the number and found this website. BE AWARE!!
I have a guy trying to rent me a condo in Chicago for a week by the name of John Giebler. When I looked up the address and called the apt building attached to that address.. it turns out the address is for a high rise elderly housing apt building, not a condo. John was supposed to call me, but has not. Found him on VRBO.
Was trying to rent a beach house in San Diego. Same thing. Just e-mailed me this number which thankfully I googled. Is going by the name Chris Ebbs...BEWARE! SCAM it looks like.
