Rental Verified Consumer Comment: Same scam in Marietta, Georgia word for word Internet
I received an email in response to my inquiry about an apartment in Marietta, GA. Here's the email. The scam looks the same, word for word:
"We appreciate your interest in our property for rent.
The home we have available for rent right now is a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath with garage in a high demand neighborhood. The rental has a full size washer and dryer.
There have not been any pets in the property so there are no smells, stains or odors. The property is pet friendly with no breed restrictions, we do not charge a fee or require a deposit but if your pet damages the property you are responsible for repairs.
To rent our property we require the following:
1. A valid Driver's License or Photo ID
2. The 1st months rent
3. Background check for each applicant
4. Lease Agreement (month to month, 6 months or 1 year), I will bring it to the viewing
You can complete the b ackground check online using Rental Verified: link.
This is an easy way for me to screen applicants based on previous addresses and employment information. If you have a criminal record or bad tenant history, I am flexible and I will work with you.
This property rents quickly, let me know when you've completed your background check and are ready to schedule a viewing. It's in a .pdf, you can print it and bring to the viewing or email it to me.
What's the best contact number for you? Are you available tomorrow?
I will be available tomorrow, Friday morning."
I clicked on the link and was immediately disgruntled by the fact that I would have to pay $39.95 to get a background check of myself. That's a red flag. Then I called the Toll Free phone number found in the "Support" section and all I got was a busy signal. Another red flag. Do not give them your credit card information!
