SCAM SCAM SCAM
October 5, 2014

SCAM SCAM SCAM. Do not use this website it us ULTRA scammy and doesn't weed out scammers. It also makes you pay to see messages. Here's an example of a scam I received:
*when I first received a reply I got pictures of apartment and the girl, perfect English. Must have been form letters. Now I receive totally awful written English and upfront deposit and first month rent at 1300USD in moneygram THEN see the apartment. DON'T FALL PREY to these scams!

Thank you for your reply and the details about yourself. Reading about you really got me convinced that you will be more than a perfect roommate. I wish i could the room now but i am out of town on independent research and that was why i sent you those interior pictures of the apartment for your viewing. Perhaps, i rarely stay at home during the day due to tight schedules owing to my mix jobs and that was why i sent you those interior pictures of the apartment for your viewing. The lease terms are irresistible and tenant's favorable and perhaps, it will be written as condition in the lease agreement that you have not be shown the room but only sent the interior's pictures and that if, upon your arrival, you do not like what you see then your deposit will be refunded to you immediately effectively.

I will help you to get the room secured and reserved till your moving in day. I don't have any problem having you in the apartment and you will have a full access in the apartment. The bedroom is fully furnished and there is a desk inside the bedroom. The lease is month to month and you can extend your stay if you wish to do so when you are satisfied with your first month stay. You will have to make the first month lease together with the security deposit to my mom via moneygrammoney transfer or bank deposit to get the room secured and reserved till your moving in day.

Heidi Ruhling! I can not believe the review that you wrote about our company. I see
That you never contacted us about the issue, never asked for your
Money back and did not flag or report any users as scammers! You gave us no
Opportunity to help you... and that's too bad. We do work to remove
Scammers! Block ips, remove accounts, flagging/reporting feature.
Your review is hurtful and effect the efforts and the jobs of the
Employees of of Roomster, Our only interest is to help! We can not be responsible for the actions of others. This is unfair of you!
Best,
John
