Celebrity Designer doing rental scam
On Sep-4 we responded to a craigslist adv. To sublet (Personal Information Removed) by Joshua Lee Brody (Josh Brody). He met us few blocks from the unit on Sep-7. He informed he was going to be out of country for 6 months from Nov-1 so he wanted to sublet his unit. He took us to the unit where we stayed for about 10 minutes. On Sep-10 we transferred $4180 to his Bank of America account.
On Oct-9 he told us unit is not available. We asked for our money back and he said he will mail the checks. On Oct-10 when we called him he said he had mailed the checks. When we didn’t get the checks by Oct-15 we called him again and he said he did not mail any checks, he has no money and we are free to go to the police. On Oct-16 we contacted the property manager of the property, she said Josh has no affiliation with the property and no authority to rent it. She advised we should report to the police. We filed Police complaint in Weehawken (our residence) and faxed to NYPD. Later it was revealed the guy has over 16 civil and small claims lawsuits against him in last 9 years.
Hoping to get our money back.
The guy is owner of White Lotus Clothing Inc that operates the Josh Brody line of designer clothing. Tel: 212-764 2132, Address: 246 W 38th Street #4B, NYC. Website: joshbrodynyc.com
