There is an agency that has craigslist postings offering rooms in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Manhattan – they operate out of two Midtown Manhattan offices – the agency is 100% SCAM - the information below will explain how you can avoid getting RIPPED OFF - read it... No Joke.
They operate their SCAM using many different website names (listed below) - they also use many different phone numbers on their craigslist posters – before going to their office address, they communicate with their potential victims only through text messages - if you find yourself communicating with a phone number only by text message, or if they text you a website address link that you must visit to make the office appointment, it’s a SCAM.
Here’s How The Scam Works: You send a text message with your questions to the phone number on their craigslist poster – you then receive a text message asking you to visit a website address (see list below) to make an office appointment - at website address, you complete a form to make an office appointment - after completing appointment form, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail or you’ll be routed to a confirmation webpage, either one will include their office address (see below) - at some point during the exchange, they may text message you their office address - when arriving for the office appointment, you pay an advance fee of $150 or $200 cash (No Refunds).
Here’s What Happens Next - If You Need A Room In Brooklyn or Queens: They give you a website address to log into later on to get the list of rooms - when you contact the people renting the rooms, you’ll find out that the rooms were rented weeks or months earlier - the people will tell you that their rooms were just taken off of craigslist, or some other internet site, and that they have no idea why the agency is sending their customers (victims) to them.
Here’s What Happens Next - If You Need A Room In Bronx or Manhattan: They just send you to another agency called american plaza, 3834 Broadway, at the corner of West 160th street, Washington Heights - AND THESE SCAMMERS WANT ANOTHER ADVANCE FEE TOO.
