My Landlord is a Scammer!

Someone has been scamming college students by renting an apartment that they don't even own and now I'm going to tell all of you who is behind this and how it works, so I got a message from a student in New Jersey who said that. Several students have lost money while trying to find a college apartment. I was told about a guy named Jack Daniel who was a member of the New Jersey Institute of Technology Off-Campus Housing Facebook group and made a post about two people. two bedroom, two bathroom apartment that I wanted to rent at an affordable price because I wanted students to stay inside during the corona virus outbreak, so I decided to see what this guy had up his sleeve and sent him a private message that said: hello is the 2 bed 2 bath units still available and he responded to me and said yes it is still available.

Do you want more information, please? I said yes please, then he sent me the address with a couple of pictures and said the rent included all utilities, of which there were seven. hundred dollars with a security deposit of seven hundred that will be refunded when you are ready to move out of the apartment, so it would be $1400 up front, but the address was not complete, it only had a street number, so I thought what is ? the house or apartment number I only see the streets, so he responds with the full address which I immediately launched into Google and that's when I saw that that same apartment on Apartment Guide was listed by someone named vermelha Harrison, so If it is owned by Vermelha, who is Jack?

Daniel and why does Jack tell me that he only costs $700 a month when the ad is thirty two hundred and sixty dollars? I mean even a studio apartment costs over 1700 so I responded to Jack and told him why it's so cheap as the website shows. It's one thousand seven hundred and fifty-five dollars a month and he says I have my own unit in the apartment complex and I put my own unit up for this price. I decided to make a cheap minimum for students because I also have other apartments. Well, what a good guy. except it's not really because he's scamming students out of money by making them believe they're going to get a nice apartment for only seven hundred dollars, so I copy the link to the apartment guide listing and take it to grab a thigh where I create a Redirect URL and then I sent it to him asking if this is the same complex and he is dumb enough to click on my link and tell me everything I need to know about this guy, he is using an iPhone 11 Pro Max and his IP address is is registering.

He says yes, to secure the place, you have to sign the lease and make the deposit. Once you've done that, they'll send you a booking letter showing that the place had been secured, then he tells me to contact him on WhatsApp, which I do. and then he asked me to fill out a lease so I fill it out and say my name is folded so it's folded so I just put in a bunch of false information and sent it to him as an An hour later he sends me a contract for sign and it's clear he just copied and pasted a standard lease from Google and changed the dates, names and prices, but that's when I realized he was trying to trick me. when listing the rent for $1400 a month the idiot told me $700 I'm not paying this I said I thought you said the rent was $700 this says 1400 yes he said he wanted to rent a two bedroom apartment sir , that is what is stated in the lease information. that you provided and I told you, but you said that a two-bedroom apartment would cost $700.

No, I was talking about rent per room, sir. I guess he was wrong. A room and a bathroom cost 1,400 in total. Who does this guy think I said what? No, you said you had a two-bedroom apartment for $700. I can't pay 1400. Oh, I'm so sorry. I guess you were wrong, but don't worry, it's okay. I admit it's my fault. You're absolutely right, it's your fault, you can't just go around quoting a certain price to tenants and then double it when it comes time to close, so I made them go back and update the contract now, why am I making them redo a contract when I?

I know it's a scam, because if I can take one hour out of your life and that's one less hour you're going to have to spend scamming someone else and while we wait for that new contract to arrive, let me tell you that I need to think about your online privacy and you should use a VPN like Surf Shark VPN. It's the VPN I use, trust, and always have on when using public Wi-Fi or when interacting with shady people like This Dude, I mean look what kind of information I was able to get with just one click.

You should know that there are people and companies that do this to you all the time, so you should keep your online activity private and start using a VPN. It's not just security that makes a VPN great, it's the ability to access sites that your country may be censoring or blocking, it's the ability to find deals and save money. Price discrimination is real and you will be surprised to learn how prices differ depending on where you are. are in the world, so why don't you give it a try and head over to Surf Shark Bail/Pleasant Green for eighty-three percent off and an extra month free.

Okay, so the new contract finally comes together and everything looks good, she says. Please review it so we can continue, if you want me to call you, I can do that and I thought, oh really, yes. I have some questions, why don't you call me because I'm Jack? Oh hey, okay so I was wondering if this is a one year lease or a six month lease or is it just a month to month lease or how does it work call me crazy but this doesn't sound like the kind of thing. the photo. I'm going to school.

I'm not very familiar with the area. Can you tell me a little about the area? Are there places to eat or grocery stores nearby? How far is Walmart? According to Google Maps, it's about a thirty-nine minute walk, but that's okay. Kids can email you or my Chinatown. Come see you on the A1 and the truths for you. What's the janitor's name? What is the name of a donut? Yes, his name is Donut. Yeah, oh okay, so what do you need next for me? Facebook and I secured ourselves as much as possible, you downloaded the Club there, it's okay and how can I secure the place by making the deposits?

Okay, then you'll send me that information. PayPal is fine, so let's make it a positive economy. A confirmation. That's fine thanks. So he sends me the PayPal information of a guy named Farouk who he says is his accountant and asked me to send him a screenshot once I sent him the $1400 and at this point I think I'm going to play his own joke on them . and I'm going to make them think I paid them, so I open up Photoshop and create a receipt that says I just paid fourteen hundred dollars for fruit, and then I send it to him and he says okay, I got it, sir, I'll let you know if I get it. received and I'm sure he was excited thinking that he had just made someone fall for his scam, but I want my keys to my new apartment so I asked him for the concierge's contact information and he said the concierge would contact me. soon but he starts to worry because he doesn't see his money and I'm getting angry because I want my keys and he tells me I'm sure they have debited you sir and I tell him yes I sent him a screenshot and he tells me yes.

I haven't received it yet sir and this goes on for half an hour and he is clearly getting agitated and finally starts calling me so I answer and try to calm him down. Why should I cancel? Maybe it's a problem with your bank. Who is your bank? I can ask you about your bank. Could you tell me who your bank is? What a pink spell I've never heard of. Oh, acorns. Do they have that in Lagos, Nigeria? Because isn't that where you're from? You're sure? You are not from Lagos Nigeria because I traced your IP address and it says you are in Lagos Nigeria, there you look there.

I don't know, tell me well, you're there right now. Yes Yes. I'm tracking your IP address right now. and he says you are in Lagos Nigeria you just sent me a photo to prove it let's not make video calls now and that's when he blocks me on whatsapp and deletes his facebook profile so let jet Daniel's story be a lesson For you, if you want get an apartment, you should probably be sure and pay the

landlord

in person or at least make sure he's the one who says he's sorry for ruining your future sales, Farook, but maybe you can try using your smarts. do something more honest instead
