meridian group scam oak creek WI - Wisconsin

I tried to rent a section 8 apartment from this company. I applied and received a phone call offering me an apartment at Lake Forest apartments in Oak Creek, WI for August 1, 2016. I accepted and received another call from a second person asking for information. I provided that and received a call from a third person telling me the apartment suddenly wasn't ready for August 1. I was being too 'aggressive' she said! I then received a call from a fourth person four days before I was supposed to move in informing me that I couldn't move in at all.

The fourth person called me back two weeks later and said that I could maybe move in if I provided more information. After I provided the extra information I was able to get inside the available apartment. The apartment had old carpeting and the room smelled like someone had just smoked pot. A week later I received another call telling me I could move in September 1. The amount of rent I was supposed to pay in order to move in was too high. When I asked why they were trying to charge me so much, all I could get was a vague answer. No one would give me anything in writing. I finally declined the offer to move in. What a scam.
