It is becoming a common occurrence that scammers are copying our listings from the information in the MLS and putting in false information, rental rates and false phone numbers to call. The fake ads mimic the legit lease/rental listings with the following exceptions: the price is usually to good to be true and/or the fake ad will mimic our information to the tee with false contact info. Craigs List is not the only avenue these criminals are using to scam you, there are inaccurate listings found now on Hot Pads, Trulia and Zillow as well. Weve had to check and recheck our lease listings because they have been used by the scammers on many of the major online services to either separate you from your money/identity or sell you a fake rental list. You dont want to give personal info, SSN, or monies to these people. Ads and prices may sound like a fairytale but the nightmare that will soon follow because youve lost your money or worse yet someone has stolen your identity, becoming a headache for years to comes trying to clean up your credit and get your life back in order.
