Reached out to listed housing lottery people on housing connect but the response I got back was from a gmail. Curious to know whether you all have had lotteries reach out from a gmail account? It feels pretty unprofessional and makes me wonder if it is a phishing scheme cause they never signed their name and sometimes they dont even use periods.

I tried to call the office but no one picks up. Curious to know if housing lottery people have ever reached out to you without using an official email account. It's prob legit and Im just overthinking.

I have seen another post on here about an email from a property that was so poorly written it was shocking; however, the gmail address is a red flag too. I'd be careful - maybe try to find the person on LinkedIn or a company website.

The weird part is that they didnt even sign their name!

So i reached out using the email addresses on the housing connect website and I got a response back from a gmail that wasnt even on the original send list...

This was back in May and they said they'll get back to me when they reach my log number. Now in July they said they have something available but no property email address, no name on signature and missing periods. They're asking for documents to re-verify my eligibility and to schedule a viewing which is why I think it's prob legit.

I will call again...ugh, they dont even pick up

I wouldn't submit documents anywhere other than on housing connect if that is where you applied someone can easily steal your identity with the amount of information they request
