Global Management One

I was scammed by a company called Affordable Rentals Northwest and they also go by Global Management One Seattle.
Address: 2300 Eastlake Ave. E. in Seattle, Wa.
206−322−2071 (The phone number they use in their adds usually starts the same as the one I just posted but the last 4 numbers change)
They post adds on Craigslist (could possibly post in other publications) claiming that they work with a ton of managers that need their vacancies filled so bad credit, evictions and felonies are not a problem. The managers are willing to over look them and give you a second chance. Well, after being scammed by them I filed complaints with the Attorney Generals Office and with the Better Business Bureau. Now I’m working with a legitimate company. How do I know this? One of the Apts. sent me to them and they DON’T charge me, they charge the Apts. So, if a company wants money from you for this service, don’t do it! Here is the complaint I wrote up for the Attorney Generals Office if you’d like to read more details.
Explanation of complaint:
I found an ad for a service to assist in finding an apartment. I called the service and went in on Wednesday, November 18^th, 2009. A man named Terrance was there to assist me. I paid them $ 250, so he gave me a rental list. He told me to go look at the ones I wanted to from the outside and then to call them to schedule appointments to see the insides of the ones I like. I did that. I called Terrance back the next day at 1:50 pm with my list of nine places I wanted to see on the inside. I also called at 1:55 pm and 2:17 pm working out details and making sure he had the right number to call me back at. He said he would call me back with appointments for that day. I drove up to the Lynnwood area from Renton to be there and ready to be at my appointment. At 3:33 pm I called him since I had not heard from him. The lady that answered the phone said, «he just stepped out 5 min. ago, please call back.» So I called back at 3:52 pm and was told, «he just stepped out 5 min ago, can I take a message?» I told them who I was and to have him call me back. I didn’t hear back co I called at 5:12 pm and was told, «he is on the other line, can I help you?» I told them what was going on and they transferred me to someone else. I told that person what was going on and she said she would talk to Terrance to see what was going on and she would have him call me. At 5:40 pm I called them again since I didn’t hear from them. I was told, «he is in the bathroom going pee, can I help you?» I told this man what was going on and he transferred me to a woman named Whitney so I told her what was going on and she said she would talk to Terrance to see what was going on and then call me back. I never received a call back from her or anyone. They closed at 7:00 pm. Today, Friday, Nov. 20^th 2009, I called again at 12:20 pm asking for Terrance and was told he is in a meeting. I asked them to have Terrance call me back. I have not heard anything to this point. I feel I have not received any of the services I have paid for. I also called Anchor Village apartments in Mukilteo (206−322−2327) because they were one of the apartments that was on the list from Global Management/​Affordable Rentals Northwest to see if they were affiliated with them. The lady at Anchor Village told me they absolutely were not and that they were a scam. She told me to contact the Attorney General to file a complaint.
