Post Title: Two Bedroom Apartment with Living Room-Dining Room Combination

Location: columbia, SC

States affected: SC - south carolina    

Notes:
I responded to an ad on Craiglist for an apartment in the Rosewood neighborhood "Magnolia Glen." The unit was really too good to be true, but I thought it was worth a shot. The ad honestly did not come off as scammy. The response a day later is below. When the woman asked me to do a background check from a specific site and the site did not have an "https" address, I knew it was fishy. This same scam seems to be happening all over the U.S.

DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to email me about the place.

We thought we had the place rented last week to a young couple, but communication has dropped off. You are the first person to email about it since we put it back on the market . Normally, we would prefer a year lease, but would also be open to shorter terms if necessary. I'm sure that you will want to see the property before making a final decision. I will accept pets but no more than 2. I would simply give you the address and let you swing by, but my husband is against blindly advertising an empty home online. The home has been up kept properly and had a good cleaning and fresh coat of paint. Basic utilities are currently on, but we expect that you transfer them into your name fairly quick. If you want to go ahead and schedule a time to see the property, go to the link below and print off the free copy of your report. Your score isn't necessarily important, we're just interested in seeing that there are no evictions / landlord related judgments. The details on your previous rental experience is the only part we need to review immediately.

Go here to get the report: http://mysolidstateproperties.com/?Prop=L92030


I am very open as far as appointments go to show the property. Any morning after 10am is fine. Just let me know when you have everything printed and be sure to leave me a contact number to reach you at and any desired time. I will call you to confirm a time and choose a place to meet.

Thanks and hopefully I'll talk to you soon!

Jessica
