This is a scam company. Found house for rent on Zillow. Agreed the price with lady with name Ann (she doesn't even specify her last name anywhere, but google search gives: Ann Chung, owner). She told me to pay application fee for screening. I did this. On the next day having that I already payed application fee they proposed me to rent the same house for higher price !!! I refused. She said that in that case she is free to rent the house to someone else for higher price or if I still want to rent the house for lower price I need to "secure" it by paying deposit worth of 1 full month rent but without signing any lease. I proposed to sign lease aggrement first before I pay deposit. She refused for that.
It was something like give me money and that it. I requested application fee back. She refused to return application fee.
Here you have ower of the company behaving this dirty fraudulant way. What would you expect from the company as a whole .....
Going to report this fraud case to police.
