Dear Friend, There Apparently there Once they come to visit your apartment they charm you into choosing him or her as your future roommate. Then they tell you they will come back on an agreed time to give you money for a deposit. Instead they bring with them another person faking it as just a good friend. The friend then points a gun at your face, instructs you to sit in a chair and the person who you thought was going to be your future roommate proceeds to "ducktape" you in the chair. (Not all of the victims were ducktaped, some were handcuffed to radiators in their bathrooms; many victims were both handcuffed and ducktaped... I guess it's safe to assume that neither happened to some of the victims.) After strapping you down with ducktape they rob you of your money and your belongings. And the police tell me they have not killed anyone, nor have they hurt anyone, but it's only a matter of time in this crazy city of ours. I've been in close contact with the police and have voiced my opposition to the police department about going public with this crime spree. If you think about it, it is the easiest crime in the world to commit. You are inviting the criminal into your home. He or she is not using any force. In my opinion for the police department to announce this creative crime spree would instigate more copycats. Until they capture these criminals I will keep my fee lower than the newspapers charge. Also "beef-up" my screening process which has been impeccable since 1979. Roommate Finders to list your apartment? If you can't afford the $25.00 to list your apartment, please let me know. It's too dangerous to post ads on bulletin boards or weekly neighborhood newspapers or with other agencies where it's free to advertise.
