yup i got scammed in my first nyc apartment and i left the state in tears within 12 hours of arriving 😭 im originally from california but i got an internship in ny so i couldn't tour in person before starting but this person did a virtual tour and everything. she gave me with a real address that i searched up and verified with real pics from the tour. super sweet girl with a linkedin, ig, number, etc. i flew in just to realize that the password to the apt she had given me was fake and that she had blocked me on everything. i was stranded in ny at 12 am by myself with no guardian and all of my luggages. i had nowhere to stay overnight so i had to fly back to california that same night. it completely traumatized me and i almost lost my internship

Waiiiit no I feel like the looks too good to be true one is flexible. My current rent stabilized unit just off fort greene park is so under market, had bad photos, a lot of typos in the listing, and the guy was being so sus over text and asked for a “good faith deposit” 😭 yet I’ve been happily living here for 3 years

How do you verify it’s legit? I’m hunting out of state on street easy right now, I do have a friend in the city looking over listings and who can go in person for me

someone tried to scam me in 2010 and i caught on. he was SCREAMING at me over the phone, calling over and over, saying awful things. he wasn’t even in this country! it was wild. point is, they will try anything to intimidate you into giving them money. don’t do it!
