Scam Description
This guy is portraying to be a realtor. Is only use Trulia and Zillow and some homes no body will answer but they will send you a text to whom you need to speak with. That is why I didn’t think to hard on it. I found a home I liked and called the number I seen in the window. He reached out through text that he could show me the rental home and get my paperwork done. I paid him through cashapp and there is no way to get my money back. Overall I was scammed of $735. Which $50 was the initial application fee and the other was for the security deposit. After paying the $735 I was expecting to get my keys and move in since I had a voucher at the time I could use to cover the rent. This has hurt and disappointed me so bad. After I asked for a refund he kept giving me the run around wit getting it back. After 3 attempts to meet and he never would meet me it hit me that I have been scammed. He told me he didn’t force me to send the money and yet he didn’t he lied about helping me rent a home from him. I hope law enforcement cracks down on these types of scams because it been a dead end street wit law enforcement tracking him down.
