RN I'll have the keys, so if it does show up, I'll put it in the locked garage.
Also, if a certified check shows up, I won't mobile deposit it. I'll go to the bank and talk to the bank. Plus, I won't do anything until this check clears. And my security cams will capture everything, day and night. I have them on all 4 sides of my house. They also record sound.

RN I am babysitting the pit bulls for the week leading up to her supposed arrival on March 25. I'm actually glad about that now. LOL

RN, darn it Naja, it really isn't sounding good now. Has she asked for your bank account number or anything?

RN No, no account numbers. But she did ask which bank I use. But no numbers. At the time I just figured she wanted to open an account to have here. Like maybe her bank didn't have a branch here.

RN The info she has on me is name, address, phone number, and which bank I use.
Funny thing is, now I feel like her asking me an innocent sounding question like if my dogs are friendly feels fishy. Even though it is a normal question a tenant would ask.
When I asked her why the phone is in that old man's name, she just texted "Yes, that's the number I will be using". No real explanation.

Is yours a cell phone number? Sometimes they use those plus your personal info for identity theft. If you use online banking, make sure it's completely locked down.

RN Yes, my cell. What do you mean by locked down? My whole life is pretty much on auto pay.

I would change my bank settings to 2 factor log in via Email (instead of text). Just to be safe, since she has your cell phone number.

Unless it's both emailing AND a phone call, you don't want it to call, since she has your phone number.
And as good housekeeping, I'd change your Email password as well, and your banking log in.

RN, okay, Naja, I was talking about your banking log in info. You said you set it to call? She does have your phone number?
Mine makes you choose ONE method: Email, call or text.

Wow, this has all been eye opening. Thank you, Juju, for getting the ball rolling in asking questions and bringing up good points. I'm not in the same situation but this has been educational. Good luck, Naja, and hoping for a real tenant for you who is stress free!

So, I'm still unclear. What happens when you try to log in? Does it ask you which method you'd like to use for that specific log in attempt?

I can't see any difference when I log in on the computer at all. PW and username. I was thinking maybe it's just for new devices. I'm a little confused about it. I have the phone app set to fingerprint, so it doesn't do anything different there. I'm going to go try from a different browser with VPN on. I'll report back.

RN ahhhh, yes, I see now. If it doesn't know me, it asks which method I want to use to verify. So you're right. I better set it to an email no one has, and disable the other methods.
eta: that was quick. Thanks for the info. Now the unknown email I have never used anywhere is in there.

Great! Just make sure you keep the password to that Email! I always lose those little known ones.

RN She texted me this just a little while ago. It went like this.
Hello, I just confirmed the check will be mailed out to you on or before Friday
ok, thank you. The rental car will be in your name, right?
Yes it would.

RN If it's in her name, I'll accept it and put it in the garage. That will solve the problem if it's a set up to steal a car. If it's in my name, I'll refuse it. The security cams will alert if anybody comes sneaking around the driveway at night, and record it. PLUS, I'll have the pit bulls here for the week until the day she is supposed to arrive. They are truly scary when they see a stranger.
ETA: It's truly an awesome coincidence that the pit bulls are staying those days!

RN I just got a new request to board this 10 yr old princess, Maggie.
eta: oops. didn't look closely. They also have a 5 yr old Bichon Frise they want me to look after. I bet I won't get the job. Patsy won't be gentle with the little dog.
