Three different people Melanie Johnson from Facebook Market Place and said owner Jane Olivor texting to me and a man that didn't identify himself from New York called me trying to get people to put down a security deposit on a his rental before they even get to see the property saying that it fully refundable. They say once you put the security deposit down then they will schedule a showing. This is the text that they sent me trying to get me to do this. "What do you mean?No, I'm not confirming anything. I Just got off the phone with a friend that is a agent and your not the owner of said property. Who told this lie?A agent that looked on the county records of ownership for said property. I told you before that I bought this property a few days ago and advertised it for rent.Also why would you want me to give you a security deposit on property that I haven't even seen in person?To finalize your house booking, the security deposit must be completed. Since I receive multiple inquiries, submitting the deposit guarantees that the unit will be reserved for you. If you visit the property and decide it’s not the right fit, your deposit will be fully refunded.How much is the deposit then?In our society, security deposits are usually taken from $1000. Since you will be confirming the property by paying the security deposit online, I will allocate it to you for only $500, giving you a 50% discount.Many more people are inquiring about renting my property. I am responding to them so I cannot take your call right now. However, if you confirm the property by paying a security deposit, we will talk on the call and be able to schedule a time to meet in person.Do you have Chime?What's wrong with you not answering?Are you afraid to pay a $500 security deposit? You can put down a little less and then pay the full security when we meet in person.What happened? Answer me.Are you really interested in my property, yes or no? I don't need to put a security deposit because I haven't seen the property yet. To finalize your house booking, the security deposit must be completed. Since I receive multiple inquiries, submitting the deposit guarantees that the unit will be reserved for you. If you visit the property and decide it’s not the right fit, your deposit will be fully refunded.Do you have a chime?No, that's not how it works. I've already talked to two of friends that are realtors and they say this whole thing is not right. No one puts a security deposit down before getting to view the property and no one uses Chime for any transactions.Don't worry, if you don't like my property after personally inspecting it, all your expenses will be refunded.No, that is not how it works I have received multiple inquiries due to the demand for answers and all are asking me for permission to personally inspect my property.It's very difficult for me to meet everyone in person and show them around the property.However, if you confirm the booking of the property by making a small advance, I will hold it for you and we will meet in person today and hand over the keys to my property to you."
