Robert Shaw Real Estate Group D/B/A My Place Apartments SCAM ARTIST Chicago Illinois

Please do not lose your hard earned money with the Shaw Real Estate group d/b/a My Place Apartments! I went to Robert Shaw seeking assistance to find an apartment.  Mr. Shaw spoke with my personally behind closed doors, unrecorded about my situation, during which I disclosed every detail as it pertained to the application, and then explained the requirement is that I locate an apartment in Suburban Cook County, to which Mr. Shaw gave me an " I can work with you Susan I can find you a place". 

Bottom line is that they are NOT YOUR agent they are real estate agents and they will only hook you up with an apartment for which the landlord has agreed to pay them 1 months’ rent in advance for the placement  (a real estate broker represents the landlord and charges landlord fees for finding a suitable tenant).  So, when you are TOLD and UNDERSTAND that you are being represented by them and that you can continue to provide them with listings and numbers on your own for them to contact on your behalf, which is a bold face lie.   One of the employees explained how this works to my Case Worker, Susan Evans at Catholic Charities.  Unable to locate me an apartment in Suburban Cook County, they are refusing to return in the least, my $850 deposit.  This has got to be illegal in some way even though I am sure Mr. Shaw or his partner or wife is an attorney since he offers legal services as well, so good luck finding a loophole.   I am not shocked but disturbed that this company is as immoral as to scam a single mother of two children that survived a horrible domestic violence attack, only to put my life back together to be scammed by Mr. Shaw!!
