Review 7/7/2011
I, just like the others here, fell victim to this scam. I had seen a posting on craigslist (and then found one in the pennysaver in print days after confronting them) and decided to come in and take a look at the properties they had available. Immediately they had me filling out paperwork and charging me $180 for their 'services' which I was told by their Rep Johnathan that money would be used towards the rent of whatever unit we liked. I used their atm and got an error, so the machine gave me $80 and I had to go down to the gas station to get the other $100. I should've seen this as a sign. When we left, we headed over to see one of the 3 properties we were given, we were rushed out at 5:45pm because they needed to close for the day. Upon arriving to see one of the units, we noticed a 'For Lease' sign with a Realtors information on it. We went home and started doing some investigation. These houses we were given to 'rent' were either for SALE or were being leased through a big realty company. I made a few phone calls and found out that Premier Properties was a SCAM! They are using a MLS website (https://www.tempo.socalmls.com) that requires some sort of password that must be allowing them to see houses and then they print out the pictures to show you the units and then tell you a FAKE rental price that is clearly under what the place is available for. The house we were sent to see they listed it to me at $1200 RENT and when I spoke to the realtor, it was renting for $1695. Another unit Premier Properties gave me for $1350 was really $1900! HUGE price difference! I went in the next day at lunch time and was horribly mistreated! I was yelled at, I was accused of being misinformed and they refused to give me a refund. I finally showed them the proof I had (I print everything) and they quickly changed their tune. My husband hates confrontations and when he started yelling, he didn't keep quiet and we had to remind them they were being hostile for no reason. Ray, their manager, wrote on the refund request that I would be getting a refund today (a week later). He tried to apologize for screaming, but that he was upset that we were so convinced from just reading reviews online, after my husband and I stated that they have 38 reports on the BBB site, he didn't say anything. I had to remind him that I am in my 3rd trimester, and if he kept yelling, he would need to call an ambulance because he was elevating my blood pressure. He tried to be soft spoken and just said to call today at noon to make sure my money order refund was in and surprise, surprise, they don't have my refund yet. I have it in writing that they would give me my refund TODAY so I think it falls under much different circumstances if they are with-holding money that belongs to me.
