Initial means of contact Text message

I was contacted by text message after I was trying to look up an apartment/houses for rent so I replied. I told her that I have been looking for houses and it’s hard to get one that allows 4 dogs. She said, it will be ok for that said listing located in Jason Rd Springhill. Just fill out the application and she will follow up. The next day my supervisor told me she missed a call from Florida, but wasnt sure if it was them calling so I thought they are trying to do a background check on me. She called them back and left a message but they didnt call backor answer. The next day a guy called and said my application was rejected for an unexplained reason. He said, he was told to say that its because of my job, my credit report and my rent history. Furst of all, I have a an excellent credit score and it was never checked. I work as a Clinical Lab Scientist for 20 years and worked from 3 different countries and moved here in Iowa and bought my home which I lived in for the past 6 years. So I dont know what is their basis. I messaged Pam Sanford regarding the issue and told me to call Drake to reconsider. I called him and asked to leave him a text and he will follow up the next day but he never did give me an update. They obviously just took $150 out of our hard worked money. Please be careful with these people.

Type of a scam Rental

I made contact with a Elizabeth Huffman and Randy Stuart about a rental property in New Port Richey, FL. I explained our situation about moving to FL from NC and Elizabeth said that it wouldn’t be an issue and that they would work with us more than a realtor, because they are private landlords. Said, all I had to do was fill out the application and pay $75 per adult. I began asking questions, like what would disqualify us, she wouldn’t answer the question for a while. she eventually answered and said "too many unpaid debts" but I explained to her our situation, and she said, although she couldn’t guarantee anything, but that I should go ahead and apply. If you google the property, the actual owner of the house, died 4 days ago. I asked about viewing the house, and I was told, you’re first step is to go online and apply, and you can feel free to drive by the location at anytime. I found a website reporting the phone number given to me when I asked about verification of ownership, so I knew we weren’t being scammed, Elizabeth replied with "we have deeds to all of our properties". I took a screenshot of the report of her phone number being a scam, and sent it to her, she then blocked me. Found the same listing, listed under someone else’s name. These people are MASSIVE scammers, and need to be reported and charged. They are scamming people, stealing their money, and using identities of deceased people. If you google the names they are using, they are dead actors or dead realtors.
