Post Title: $650/Month 3 Bedroom, 2Full Bath

States affected: OH - ohio    

Notes:
I have been looking for a home for me and my kids to move into. I requested more information and an appointment to see the home listed on Criagslist.org. This is the following email that was sent. I did the credit check and now the link cannot connect and his email does not work. I was a fool to do the credit check, now he has my personal information. I reported the email address and the information to the fbi and better business bureau, but am worried. He even sent pictures with it. I kept a copy of the email, along with the pictures for evidence. I also kept the link where the credit check was performed.


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

Yup, you got scammed.

Casandria, I feel awful for you. You got duped into one of the biggest scams going on right now. The good ol' credit report scam. UGH those idiots!! Hopefully your information won't be used for fraudulent purposes and they only ran the scam on you to get the monies for the credit report click and fill out.

Here's a government link that explains it further.

OMG! He sent me the EXACT email. I was hopeful because it's an embarrassing situation but I was evicted and thought well, if he just does a credit screen he'd see the one eviction (Maybe) and I'd have a place before the end of this week. Thank goodness I have a friend to stay with until I get a place. This really stinks what he is doing. Thankfully I didn't click the link. I was suspicious after looking at the pictures. Too good to be true for $750 a month.

Thanks for Cassandria and Flakmistress for you info.
