I received a call today, as I often do, for the Park Wilshire. My name
comes up when someone Googles several buildings on the Wilshire Corridor.
The person asked me if I was the leasing office. The Park Wilshire is a condominium building so there is no leasing office. When I asked why she was calling she said she was inquiring about the 1 bedroom lease for $1,200.
There are no 1 bedroom leases and if there were they certainly wouldn't be $1,200 they would be more like $3,000. She thought there was something strange.
When I called the Park Wilshire they told me they knew about this scam because it had been going on for a year. In fact, one person had bitten, signed the lease and sent boxes to the building to await their move-in.
Below is the text of the email the person received. It was a professional looking flier with a beautiful young woman on it. I could not transfer it to this post.
