Golden Realty realty trulia scam renting moving golden realty too goo to be true nationwide Internet
I have been using Trulia on my housing search and came across a scam.
At first I thought it was just a scam on Trulia (http://www.trulia.com/rental/3199803013-1950-29th-Ave-Greeley-CO-80634) but I looked up the real estate company "Golden Realty" ( https://goldenrlty.managebuilding.com/Resident/PublicPages/Home.aspx) and it appears that there are many "too good to be true" housing rentals listed. The contact information for the company is just an email address. I believe this website is being used to support this scam, which could be large scale, given the number of houses listed and the numerous locations.
I looked up the last owner of the house, and the real estate company listed is not Golden Realty. I have contacted them but have not heard back.
The email I received from claimed owner Brian Gore:
"Hello ___,
This is the owner of the property at 1950 29th Ave,Greeley, CO 80634 which you inquired about.
Our home is still available for lease as we want responsible & decent adults/family that possess qualities to manage our home as if it were theirs.The rental fee is at a very affordable price as i am not really bothered about the rent rather my priority is your assurance in being able to keep our home in good condition always.We initially had the property up for sale but changed our mind and decided to lease it out because of my urgent transfer from my place of work to Rhode Island.The agent we previously put in charge over the property was asking too much of an agent fee by inflating the rental fee thereby making it difficult for people to afford the rent.For this reason, we decided to rent it out ourselves and no longer want any third party,rather a direct agreement between us and any interested tenant.If you drive by you might still notice the sign post of the agent in-front of the house but don't bother as I have instructed the agent to take off the sign post from the property.
I will be away with my family for the next couple of years or more pending any new transfers from my company.I work as a construction Engineer here in Rhode Island and i'm currently married.We know there is no way we can be sure that you are the right person to live in our home because we won't be able to see in person before rounding up the rental process but we will be working by trust here with whatever you tell us about yourself and previous rental experiences.You can get back to us if you are truly interested by telling us more about yourself,your previous rental experience and at what time you wish to rent the home.I await your response in this regard.
The following are the accurate details of my home and its fees.
Bedrooms:3, Bathrooms:3,
Rental fee (per month):$1200
Security Deposit(Refundable):$1000
Pet Fee(one-time payment):$200
Best Regards."
I have sent an email report to Trulia but because they have so many scams, they will likely just take down the listing. This "Golden Realty" could operate through many different people if they claim to have decided to rent/sell the property personally after first working with a real estate company.
