Yeah I wasn’t going to click that link at all, the email didn’t talk about the house in particular or reference me in particular (I described myself to see if I was a good fit for the owners). The original listing made it sound like a husband and wife team renting out a mother-in-law type apartment but the email response made it sound like a company.

These scammers are well and truly the scum of the earth, be safe people.
