Sulekha.com — Rental Scam Arjun Joseph, 953 Helen Ave, Sunnyvale, California, at https://indianroommates.sulekha.com/ | |||
Today, I got an email in response to my enquiry about a rental apartment in Boston listed at Indianroommaters.Sulekha.com. He addressed himself as Arun Joseph. When I said him that I wanted to meet him in person before finalizing the deal, he replied that his father is sick and he is currently living in Pennsylvania, and he will come back to Boston only at the Weekend. When I told him that it's fine and I will meet you at the Weekend and pay you at the same time at his apartment, he said that he can not guarantee to meet if the room is already taken by someone else. When I asked for his government ID, he quickly sent me his California State driving license (Name: Arjun Joseph, Number: F4293209 Exp: 01/26/2025, Address: 953 Helen Avenue Sunnyvale, CA, 94086, DOB: 08/31/1988), which made me more suspicious about him. Usually, people don't share government IDs so quickly (within 5-10 mins conversation). When I searched online "Arjun Joseph, California", I came to know that many people (below are the links) have already been victims of such scams, probably by the same person. Similar complaints: https://www.consumercomplaints.insulekha-com-rental-scam-953-henle-ave-sunnyvale-ca-c2804011 https://www.consumercomplaints.in/nipun-patel-rental-scam-c1972203 I am not coming to Sulekha again. But, I request Sulekha to these issues seriously, else their credibility is under threat. People will soon loose their trust if they dont block such people. Was this information helpful? | |||
