I was on craigslist one day and I ran across an ad that said rent to own only 3000 down and 875 a month for a 2 bedroom home. My fiance called him and he told us to set up a time to go look at it. Well my fiance works long hours and told him he would call when he knew when he could go. The next day we call and Cas told us to meet him at 8 pm. This house is an hour away from our current home by the way. We got there at 8 at he was not there. We called him and he turned it around on us saying we were supposed to call first and that it was too late for him to come now. Then told us to peak in the windows. We did that and we wanted it and he said that we needed the 3000 to secure it. We let him know it would take a few days to get it together but would definately have it. He said that was fine and he would hold it until Wednesday. As we were leaving I noticed a for sale sign in the yard with a real estate companys name and phone number. I called the lady and she sounded a little shady herself and said she was there in case someone wanted to buy it out right but it was Cas Rodgers property. I go home and email Cas and ask when is the latest we could move in and when he replied his email address was @itex.com. I emailed him back and asked him what was itex about bc when I did a search it was some kind of bartering service and I didn't want anything to do with that I just wanted a house. He said that he has been meaning to get his own email and that was his day job basically and that these were his personal properties. So we get the money together Tuesday but were not able to meet him that night because my fiance worked 18 hours. We called to let him know we had it and would get with him as soon as my fiance got off work Wednesday. So Wednesday my fiance calls at 2pm to see if 8pm was ok. He told us that someone else was interested and we had to give him the money now if we wanted it. So we made arrangements to do so and he said to meet him at his office at 3:30. So we were ready by 2 30 but waited until 3 30. We get to the office and the people were puzzled that I asked for Cas Rodgers and informed us he was out of the state!!! How is he supposed to meet us if he is out of state!!!?? But the other rep called him and he told me that someone has already bought it at 3 pm. Okay well why didn't he let us know, why would he ask us to meet him if he were going to sell it? Then after hanging up the guy said oh we have other properties and of course they were way to expensive. I am 7 months pregnant and have been running ragged getting everything together so I am angry at this point and go home and email him. He told me that we had until noon today to get it... Errmmm then why at 2 did you tell us to meet you at 3:30? Anyway this guy is really shady. I haven't figured out the deal is. I think it was a bait and switch. Anyway I already got my deposit back for another place to get this one and am now out of a place. Please do not do business with this man. I am going to make sure he doesn't do this to someone else.
