So sad some people do fall prey to these stupid scammers when looking for a real place to live. I am one who did almost become a victim of an apartment scam from a room rental website called Roommates.com. The guy who claimed to have an apartment in NYC plus a jewelry business and out of the country working, I was asked from this guy if I didn't have a problem to help with his business and live in his apartment rent free. I told him sure no problem, I got a check in the mail took it to my bank the bank teller was so thrilled that I brought it to her because I guess my bank has been warned about scams. She told me "WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE" I looked at Cynthia (friend) and asked the lady "is it real? she told me "no the check is fake and if we were to cash it or deposit it into your account and given you the money from it, the check would bounce and you would be held reliable for repaying all the money back" I told her " keep it" she made a copy of it for me. I came home told my Grandma what happened and she felt bad that it wasn't legit but glad at the same time relieved that I didn't get scammed. I confronted the guy and he accused me of keeping the whole check I told him the bank has it and it's not real. He cursed me out and I told him send me another one, this time I have given him a police station's address in NYC LOL. So from there I have no idea where the check is if it got sent back or got destroyed, either way I reported him and blocked him.
