Guy at nycityrooms.com Sleaze Ball tried to rip me off
The sleaze ball at nycityrooms.com tried to rip me off on Friday. This guy Martinez has an office that he rents at 421 Seventh Avenue, Suite 1005. Jasmine who works there tried to get me to hand over a $150.00 fee cash in advance and then she told me she would send me to 3834 Broadway in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. I asked her if that was another agency and she told me it was their agent that handles his rooms. Well while I was sitting in his office, I Googled the 3834 Broadway, the address where this con artist wanted to send me, got the phone number and called them up. Turns out it's another unlicensed agency (American Plaza) that takes another fee in advance & they have no connection with nycityrooms.com. Stay away from this con artist.
