Arianna Phillips Beautiful brand new renovated 1 bedroom apartment ,Binghamton,- scam Binghamton New York

I recieved the following email after responding to an apartment posting. This same email has been sent to others. It lead me to sign up for a credit report website that would charge a monthly fee, collected by the scammer. I stopped partway through the signup when I realized something didn't feel right, but it charged my card anyways even though I never finished the signup process.

Thank you for your interest in the property listed for rent. You were the second to contact from the ad. The first prospective tenant no longer had to move because of his work situation. So we give the opportunity to you. We just completed all new renovations and are currently prepared to lease with flexible terms. We will work with you on move in date, lease length and security deposit. 

I know that you want the precise address of the property but my husband does not want me divulge due to security reasons. We have had a string of break-ins, squatters and thefts at our other properties. We want to prevent that with this property due to the renovations that have cost a great deal of money. You will be the first to move in with the renovations. That is why we want to confirm you have your updated report before we arrange a tour. 

All utilities are priced into the lease along with garage parking spaces. The appliances in the kitchen as well as laundry room were just installed. You have the option to pick your paint color and flooring prior to your arrival 

If you want us to schedule you for a tour, then please visit the link below and get your report. All of our tenants use this site because it is widely trusted. Just fill out the form and indicate that you want the report. We are not concerned with any negative report items, it's more of a formality to ensure you have rental history. Simply get your report byCLICKING HERE 

Keep in mind that you only have to bring your report to the tour. Once you let me know that you have your report ready, then I can personally schedule a showing of the place. 

See you soon,
Arianna
