Post Title: 3bdrm 2 bath 800 month
Location: redding
States affected: CA - california
Notes:
Was looking at home available for rent on Craigslist for Redding California came across Susan Bennett post.
$800 / 3br - Lovely Updated Home for LEASE (Redding) This large 3 bdrm, 2 1/2 bathroom house is surely welcoming to your family and friends. 3 bdrms are on the 2nd story along with 2 bathrms, 1 in the master bdrm. The half bthrm is located downstairs. The rooms are very comfortably sized and are carpeted. Both bedrooms have full sized closets. The master bedroom has a full walk-in closet. A linen closet is in the hallway as well. This house has alot of storage space. Downstairs you will find a newly renovated kitchen that has fairly new stainless steel appliances. There is a extra room at the bottom of the stairs that would be great for a game room or another use. On the other side of the stairs is the living area. It is definitely spacious and has a charming fireplace as well.
The living space opens up with sliding glass doors to an charming back deck. If you like to have bbqs or just enjoy being outdoors on beautiful days, the rear deck is perfect! The back deck leads down to a large backyard, it is not fenced in but it still has alot of room for family time! Dogs and Cats are accepted for a small deposit. A WD is included with the house and we prefer a annual.
With the 12 month lease I will give you the first months rent at no cost. Send me an email for more info of the house or to arrange a viewing.
Click on it and I sent her a email this was my response
Hello,
First and foremost, thank you for your interest in the home. Anyways I have attached some pictures to this email and I am available to show the house this week or next if that fits your schedule as well. Just to give you a little more information about the home, the water and trash are paid by myself. The security deposit is $400 and can be paid in 2 installments if money is tight. (I know how that can be).
We do allow pets with a $75 security deposit, refundable at move out. The house includes a washer and dryer, and we have a contract for lawn care so the renter does not have to cut the grass.
I will be happy to show the house at an agreed upon time and date but I do require that all applicants and additional renters who will be living in the home complete a credit check to ensure their eligibility. I have to make sure potential renters are qualified 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). I just check to make sure that you don't have multiple evictions on your record. (We won't rent if you have 2 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 give 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 3 years (and it is very cozy!).
As soon as you can, please click and go to the secure website link below to complete the credit report check (takes about 30 seconds). Once you have complete it, I'll call you once I receive the information from the credit company (very quickly usually).
Credit Check Link: http://852527.nationalcreditreport365.com
*** Please do not send me your credit report directly. Click or copy and paste
the link into your internet address bar and complete to ensure I receive the
notification.
Once you fill out the report the credit company automatically forwards me your name, email address, phone number, and whether you have had any outstanding evictions in the past 5 years to determine your renter eligibility. This is the only information I am interested in. This is a soft credit report so it won't touch your FICO score (which is why we work with them).
This process turns some people off, so I completely understand if you decide not to complete it. In that case, good luck with your home search. I just want to be honest with you up front about our process, as it helps weed out ineligible renters and scammers and ensure that we place quality tenants in the home.
If eligible you will also be sent an email with my cell number and the home's address so we can set up a time to go see the house and discuss any other questions or concerns you may have.
Thanks for the interest!

Another One?!
Yea, unfortunately she has been at it big time all across the USA with this scam. It's written so well that I can see where it is easy to fall for. Glad you caught and reported it before you got sucked in even more. |

*Raises Hand* Got another one!
I just received the same response for Utica, NY. Desperately looking for a house big enough for my family (although three bedrooms still doesn't do it, but with the bonus room it might have). Anyhow, found this on the Utica/Rome Craigslist. Responded to the ad, and had asked for the address because the Utica area you have to be very picky about where you move. A lot of bad areas. Received the basic same email as above but was told that she can't give out the address because last time she did, the house got vandalized. First had that little inkling in the back of my head about the credit report. Then got it big time when I saw the pictures. They're simply too good to be true! There is no way that in this area there is a house this nice for $775 a month unless it's right next to a meth lab! I hope that someone puts a stop to them soon. Too many people looking for affordable nice housing to keep being had by scams like this. |

Affiliate scammer
It looks like all she gets if someone would sign up is a commission. If you click on the link an affiliate code comes up with the web address. She doesn't get any personal information, just money for each person that she wrongfully signs up. Just make sure that you cancel right away! There are two different programs that you are signed up for, Member Savings ($2/month) and Privacy Matters ($30/month). Make sure you cancel both otherwise you will still get charged for the other one! As a precaution I would also cancel or report the card as stolen that you used to sign up, just in case anything fishy happens. That way if they try to charge you, they wont get anything! I hope this helps put some peoples minds at ease if they fell into this trap... She is in all 50 states now, so keep a look out and pass any info on! Although she doesn't get your personal information, she is still a dirty scammer and needs to be stopped! |
