Post Title: House / Apartment For Rent

Notes:
email from Mark Savorn at mark.savorn@hotmail.com and immediately thought 'this must be a scam'. I have been searcing for homes for rent in Ridgway, CO on Craigslist. Following is the email I received, the email aslo included very generic photos of the inside of a home:

First and foremost, thank you for your interest in the home. I am available to show the house this week if that fits your schedule. Just to give you a little more information about the home, the water, trash and garbage are paid by us. The security deposit can be paid in 2 installments if money is tight. (I know how that can be).

The house has a fenced in backyard and we do allow pets. The deposit per pet is a one time payment. The house includes a washer and dryer, and we pay for lawn care so the renter does not have to cut the grass. There is NO application fee

I do require that all applicants and additional renters who will be living in the home complete a creditcheck to ensure their eligibility. I have so many people apply for homes that I have to make sure they are qualified renters before I show the property. This ensures neither of us will be wasting our time.

It is okay if you have bad credit (trust me). We just check to make sure that you don't have several evictions on your record. (We won't rent if you have 3 or more evictions on your record)

I also had to recently stop giving out the exact address of rental properties before I am able to show them because last time I did that the house was vandalized (I will be glad to send you the address right after your reply) I assure you though that this is a very safe neighborhood. I actually lived in this home for 2 years (very cozy).

As soon as you can, please click and go to the secure website link below to complete the credit check: (takes about 30 seconds) Once you complete, I'll call you.

Click Here for Credit Check

This process turns some people off, so I completely understand if you decide not to complete them. In that case, good luck with your home search. I just want to be honest with you up front about our process, which does a good job of protecting us from ineligible renters and scammers.

If you are truly interested in proceeding, Let me know when this is done and we can then work out the time and date to go see the home. Email me back once you are done. (Make sure to include a valid phone number. I usually call within 6 hours of submitting for your credit check. Then I can forward you the address and we can set up a time to tour the home.)

If eligible you will also be sent an email with my office number so we can set up a time to go see the house and discuss any other questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you

Mark Savorn

str8disregard Jun 29, 2010	This guy is a scammer I just reeived an email from this guy in regards to a job and I immediately knew it was a scam. He has now branched out to New York and New Jersey. Please do not reply to this guy!!!!
nlv04 Jun 30, 2010	Mark Savorn/Susan Bennett I just received the same response to a listing in Myrtle Beach, SC. Except that it was from a Susan Bennett. So watch out for her, too.
steff05 Jul 01, 2010	Mark Savorn I just received the same resonse to a listing in Appleton WI. Whatever you do, do not reply to this guy. What a scammer!!!
BustedBHs Jul 01, 2010	Exact same thing going on in Maryland One thing I can point out to people for future scam defense, is to drag your mouse over links, and see what it reads. The link to the "credit check" was some really strange garbage that did not link to anything.
deathwee Jul 03, 2010	Mark Savorn, HR Manager Sent resume to job add on craigs list. Got this e-mail back: Hi, Thank you for sending your resume to us. The job responsibilities are clear, if hired, you will be answering the phone, scheduling meetings, and running company errands such as buying office supplies and making bank deposits. When running errands you will be provided with a company credit card to make supply purchases, etc. We have had some bad experiences with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card in the past, so before we can schedule an interview, we need you to get a credit check. We prefer you visit the site below to obtain this information as they currently have a free trial. We have also found their reports to be the most accurate. Get Credit Check When you submit your information they will send you your credit score. When you email me your credit score, we can schedule for an interview. Please do not email me your credit report, as this may have private information in it. Just send me your credit score. If you have a low credit score, that will not prevent you from having an interview with us, but it does show us that you are trustworthy and responsible. Please send me your schedule with availability for an interview along with your credit score. I am looking forward to your response. Sincerely, Mark Savorn HR Manager
anonym Jul 04, 2010	Same here to the credit check! Scam in New Jersey. Watch out.
skittles085 Jul 06, 2010	Same in Newport, RI! Advertising a 2bed/2bath house in Newport. Got the same email back!
JoanneA Jul 14, 2010	Same in State College PA This is a big scam, these ads appear all over the U.S.--an attempt at identity theft. I got a similar e-mail in response to a rental house ad--with a link to a website where you enter your personal information for a 'credit check'--looks real enough, but no information on the company anywhere but their own website--I believe it was constructed only for the purpose of identity theft. I am trying to tell everyone I can, I hope somebody gets this sleazebag. Watch Craigslist for his ads and flag them, then send a note to Craigslist to report it.
