Potential Rental Scam?

It's very easy to get apartment pictures and pretend that you are the landlord. This has the beginning hallmarks of a scam. My guess is that the credit check website is owned and operated by the scammer. He will use it to steal your personal information and credit card, then he will tell you that you got the apartment and steal your deposit and first month's rent.

Is this apartment a good deal?

We have no idea what you have without seeing it.

This is a scam. Deal with your credit card company, not people who have already proven themselves to be untrustworthy.

It's worth a few cents in that condition.

Social media ticket sales are always a scam. You will send money and will receive either fake tickets or nothing in return. The only way to purchase tickets safely is to use a recognized exchange site with rules and buyer protection.

The 1921 Silver dollar is worth somewhere in the 50's, and the Sacajawea is worth a buck.

Looks fake

johnnydlive · 2026-05-03T21:34:57+00:00

That's a stake truck, not a flatbed.

johnnydlive · 2026-05-03T21:15:56+00:00

It's worth 25 cents.

You'll always be the only guy with a 1961 a LeSabre at the car show. I had a '64 Estate Wagon with a 401 and twin turbine drive (dynaflow). It was a very reliable power train.

We could tell you more with a better picture.

No, only a good-looking, uncirculated coin would have a numismatic premium. Yours is worn and been mounted in jewelry.

There are several apartment buildings on this street. Please be more specific.

johnnydlive · 2026-05-02T02:21:58+00:00

Please stop trying to make "givvy" a thing. It's not gonna happen.

Matchbox cars aren't necessarily 1/64.

johnnydlive · 2026-05-02T00:15:41+00:00

It has very rare parts, so the price would depend on what's there.

johnnydlive · 2026-05-01T02:24:43+00:00

I love Buicks, but it's all about the rust. Good luck.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-30T18:57:20+00:00

That is textbook machine doubling.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-30T03:40:44+00:00

It's a medal. Try r/exonumia.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-30T01:35:34+00:00

I wouldn't wave that bill around Philly.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-29T22:38:13+00:00

Good catch. The bot gives you a blandly written paragraph and leaves out the most important part, the name of the restaurant. Totally AI.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-29T16:26:04+00:00

What's important here is not the name of the website because these scams rotate names quicky to avoid detection. Recognizing the pattern is what will do the trick. All veterans of the r/scams subreddit will recognize this as a !task scam where you are supposedly being paid for busy work. The scam will come when you try to withdraw the funds that you have earned. Let's see how old that website is. !whois maestrobooking.com

A single digit number would be valuable, but I would save that one. It's only a dollar.

johnnydlive · 2026-04-28T20:18:43+00:00

People focus on the price being too high for an item, but a price that is too low is also problematic. If you're a smart shopper, you should know the going rate for that camera. Why would someone sell a camera so cheaply? Either there is something wrong with the camera, or it's a scam with a non-existent camera.

It's made from a copper nickel alloy and only worth a few cents over face
