Note on this thread: A few posts were made on this thread about ForRentApartments.com that threw up some red flags. After some investigation, we've decided to remove the posts, but if the original poster believes this is in error, please contact me directly and we can discuss.

FYI - as of this morning, their site is currently down, however they are now operating at rewardrent.com. Same contact information, and the same listings are up.

We have tried contacting them through phone and e-mail, threatened legal action, but they apparently don't seem to care.

Just letting you know they're still out there and they're still trying to publish unauthorized listings online.

Thanks!

This is the email that our managers were getting:

I too have been the "victim" of this particular company, and frankly, it's getting annoying.

After working for Apartment Guides in Philadelphia and Connecticut, I've learned quite a bit about the competing advertising vendors (especially which ones to use and which ones to stay away from).

Now that I am working on the other side of the Apartment Industry (as a Leasing Coordinator), I have received nothing but unreturned voicemails, unreturned e-mails stating to cancel our listing, and this morning (at 5am EST), I received another e-mail asking us to be a premier advertiser on Forrentapartments.com. (so not only is this annoying, but it also woke me up!)

I did, however, get a phone number for a "Julia Harms" - 847.999.0549 and an e-mail address of "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." (Seriously, you can't even get an e-mail address with a company domain name??)

I tried to call this number with no luck. No voicemail, the phone just rang. I'm wary of responding as I feel that respnding with "CANCEL MY LISTING" will just give them a credit of a "response" and now put us on as a premier property.

I'm about this close |----| to filing a complaint against Kinetoscope Media and its affiliates. Yes, I know the advertising is free. Yes, I know it's not getting me ANY traffic whatsoever (I had my AG rep pull stats from their site and they are beyond pathetic), but seriously, this is just rediculous now.

Anyone else want to join me on this little crusade?

Just to give you some follow up. I responded to all of the email addresses that originally sent the link emails to our properties and got zero responses. Then I found this email address on the 1rentlogic website. 1rentlogic.com/Account/MarketingText

I sent a very stern and legal sounding "cease and desist" email to it and ended it with... "Please respond that this email was received and that no further action on my part is necessary."

viola! It took a little while, but here was the response.
