Lisa (use to be Mary) & Ryan Peter Christensen are proof that you cannot teach old cons new tricks. Their tired old scam involves "owning" an apartment (now in Queens, NY) at trying to find a renter who will pay the ridiculously low rent. The scam perpetuates and eventually the potential renter will have to pay a "key deposit" of some sort to view the apartment, while the Christensen's ("landlord") is away living in some foreign country. What kind of landlord would "send a set of keys" to a total stranger for an apartment, on the merit of a deposit without being present, or sending an associate from a rental agency? Sadly there are people who keep falling for this.

I almost got ripped off today too. Thanks for listing this. Is there anyway to press charges?
