Another rental scam - nita.blaney@gmail.com

Looking further online for housing we ran into this scam. The email from nita.blaney@gmail.com was received back and oddly enough was fairly identical to the Madden-Brooks properties emails. This one however has a hidden (shortened url) link to the site they want you to visit (although after hitting the tracking website, you end up at www.gofreecredit.com; ironically a domain shorter than the one they give you). They also only provide a general area where "their" place is located, never an actual address. The tracking domain used for the url they provide is launch.roirocket.com.

Biggest mistake? They used the same exact pictures on all their craigslist.org postings.

This one looks a little bit older than Madden-Brooks, but I am confident it's the same people.

As always ask for the actual address of a place your interested in and google an email address your not sure about, see what else they have done.
