Scam Description
The scammer listed a house for rent on Facebook marketplace, Then I was sent a fake application to apply for the house. The application fee was 70 dollars. I applied for me and my fiancé. So That totals to 140 dollars. I was then sent a fake approval letter via email. It was then I was asked to send a security deposit of 750 dollars. I didn’t send it because I realized that I was indeed being scammed. I have screen recordings and screenshots from our conversations. I have screenshots of the listing, the fake approval letter, and application.
