I paid $5400 to Jeff Glovsky of OFFMar, LLC for a Miami Beach vacation rental for the month of February; $2700 for the rent, $2700 for the Security Deposit. He has many listings on Craigslist. I have it in writing from him that we "..left the unit in better condition than we found it." Jeff Glovsky has acknowledged that he owes us our full deposit back. Our contract states it was to be returned 15 days after vacating the unit - i.e., March 15, 2010. Yet today it is May 30, 2010 and Jeff Glovsky has offered us nothing but 5 bounced checks. When I demanded a cashier's check he promised to send one a number of times and I have e-mails stating that these checks were in the mail. Yet nothing was ever sent, nothing ever showed up. I am still waiting for my money.
Do NOT rent from this man. He will take your LARGE security deposit and will not pay you back. He is running a business to scam people out of their money. But we wont let him. Jeff has several listing on craigslist through offmar or sunsexyplatinum, he had to change his name because all the people he has screwed caught up to him. He is the poorest excuse for a businessman that I have ever seen, a total scam artist. I just want my money back
On April 3rd 2010, I rented an apartment for a 1-month stay in Miami Beach. I paid a $1500 refundable deposit to the agent who found me the property, Jeff Glovsky. On May 3rd I moved out but never got the deposit back. I have a contract that says that the deposit was supposed to be returned within 15 days. The owner of the apartment has also attested that I left the apartment in perfect conditions and the deposit is due back to me, but the Jeff Glovsky will simply not return the money.
I found several others who had the same experience with Glovsky. From all the reports, it looks like he's a professional scam artist.
During my stay, he also asked me to loan him $15,000 promising a quick return and interest so he could pay off a debt with some other client. Another time, he asked for a similar deal with $4,000. In both cases I declined. But I am wondering if he could be up to a Ponzi scheme.
This guy is still renting apartments and getting away with fraud. Beware!!
I rented an apartment from Jeff Glovsky in August of 2008 and have yet to receive the refundable security deposit from him. I have contacted him via phone, email and text over the last year and a half and have been told that the "money is on the way." And now, he will not return any of my emails and cannot be reached at the phone numbers he provided.
