I just got in from the all day conference to get a call from my next door neighbor in Fort Mcmurray. It seems that my house ad has been duplicated with a lower rent and a different # / email and 2 people showed up to see it with no one to let them in. Both these individuals decided to knock on my neighbor`s door to ask about the house. Some how he realised that something fishy was going on and took down the name and number of these "potential tenants"...he then called me to share their name and phone number and tells me that one of them had put a deposit on the house sent to someone in North Carolina($300 and that she needs to forward the next $2,500). The second person has no money involved in this as far as I know. I called them both but was only able to leave them a message. I was specific as how I got their phone number and warned them not to forward ANY money to anyone for this home as I was the owner and have not been aware of their interest in the home. I have also advised them to call me to share the contact name or numbers they where given about our house before attempting to contact them to advise them of the scam or no show.I have not heard anything from these "victims" YET!
I did receive an email 2 days ago that stated "WAYNE LITTLE MAN`s" interest in the house and requested the EXACT address. I was feeling confidant to pass on the details to my soon to be PM without responding myself to the email, so I forwarded the email request to my soon to be PM. However, my lunch hour, during the conference today, lead me to some information that has me questioning my " future" PM ( property manager) ...and HIS future. He is getting fired according to someone that was VERY KIND to share that information with me over lunch. I say this to you as I travel the world every week...the world is SMALL! All this has happen since lunch time at the conference in Toronto, just before getting ready to go to my surprise "reward" concert that my husband managed to coordinate...including babysitting!!! It was a nice brake to a very busy 2 days..but now I am back to reality. I managed to warn the website about the SCAM before leaving for the show however I can not seem to find the SCAM AD ..only mine is still posted. Here is the deal ...my address is not on the ad ...I am thinking, the PM that I was about to sign up with is in on it ?or that he just responded to the email that requested the address and gave it up instead of calling to set up for an appointment or whatever he should be doing ...I am presently very tired and a little confused on what is next. Tomorrow may look easier....as I need sleep . I would appreciate any feedback or guidance to crosscheck my intentions with your ideas..or vice versa. What a day! I met great people in the last 2 days! Thanks for your HELP/EXPERIENCE/FEEDBACK...I will keep you posted!
