Please accept my sincere apologies for wasting your time although I would have thought it was pretty clear from the opening paragraphs and the category it was filed under (soapbox) that this entry was not about the DEFT webpage and trojans.

I’m very sorry if it offends you but I usually do feel like an angry child when I think I have been conned or ripped off and I am helpless to do anything about it which, despite your assurances to the contrary, I still believe has happened to me!

The fact remains - I would not have agreed to rent the place if the agent had been honest about using the DEFT scheme.

Good luck with your search and may I suggest you not come back to this site if it turns up in future searches as I would hate to waste your time again.

Oh, and for the record, I don’t claim to be wise!  Educated - yes; a Christian - yes; a psychologist - yes; old - yes but none of those things guarantee wisdom!

I rarely do this, it pains me to spend the 10 second making an account just to point out that the way the second real estate agent calculated your rent is the -ACTUAL ACCURATE WAY-.

The reason is because there arent -EXACTLY- 52 weeks in a year, so the only way to calculate monthly rent accurately is to take it down to a daily figure then multiply it up.

While you rant and rave like an angry child about four dollars a year, you waste the time of anybody who is actually trying to find legitimate information on scams using the deft web page and trojans.

And ill close with your quote, “I could be wrong, of course,”

Well how about you CHECK if you are wrong before you waste yours and everybody elses time. Because seriously, its not a good look for anybody claiming to be wise.
