Rental housing scam in San Francisco. He texted me to check my email. I read the email and it had so many red flags. First of all, this wasn't the first email I have come across with the same tone. It's always a really White sounding name, and the email is poorly written. Second, they have the story that they had to move for few years (3-5 usually) and didn't have time to get an agent so they have all the papers and keys with them and are unable to come back to deal with you. Anyway, this one claimed they were in Connecticut. So why the 910 area code number?

OMG!!!!!! SUCH [***]... my guy was Harry Rarick and was going through a rental property listing called Trulia.
I contacted him regarding a house for rent and he emailed me a real sob story about his wife being sick, telling me he does missionary work and they now live in Connecticut. and wiould be there for 3-5 years.  Everything I read about fraud was spot on, Everything!!!!!! He was willing to send me the paper work and keys to this house so he said he had. he was very persistant on the word "TODAY" in his emails. I ended up giving his MY address, who I worked for, and photos of my family like an idiot all before I caught on to his [***] SCAM.
I finally caught on when he asked me to send the money via money gram.... which I didnt thank god.BEWARE OF ANY ONE GIVING A POORLY WRITTEN SOB STORY WITH THE NAME RARICK.  OR ANY CHEAP [***] WRITTEN STORY.

Beware: harry rarick, verdedrive@hotmail.com
