Craigslist Rental Scam

I found a Craigslist ad for an apartment in San Francisco Marina District that was too good to be true, but I reached out to be able to see it. He emailed me with credentials and a website so it all looked somewhat legit on paper, but he wasn’t available to show me the apartment and the rental agreement process seemed too easy, so I googled him. Found these reports. Don’t fall for it. It’s definitely a scam!

SAME SCAMMER

I saw his Craigslist post and I sent him a message, he asked me some questions and he sent me an application form that looked quite fake. (This showed me a lot of mistrust) However, I filled it out and the next day (Sunday) I had already been approved, he sent me the contract but before continuing with the process I searched Google because I was still suspicious and I found this. I thank everyone who has reported it. THANKS to this information I was not able to send money, nor my bank information. It's not fair that this person keeps doing this.

Same scammer

I found Jose A. Medrano renting a unit for cheap on Craigslist. His email sounded to good to be true and I did find it weird I couldn’t view the place but I went along because I’m desperate to find a place. When he sent me the application I knew it had to be fake so I looked him up on google and found out Jose A. Medrano is a real broker and his license number was the same but his contact information didn’t match. I stubbled upon this page and the emails he sent to others are identical to mine! Beware!

Jose A Medrano - Different name, same scammer

I found this website by looking up the license number and email of a "real estate broker" who listed a far-below-market-rent apartment on Craigslist. He used the name "Jose A Medrano," and when you look up the listed license number, Google comes up with the same name and a couple of websites corroborating the license number and name. However, there were some discrepancies between the listed numbers and addresses on these websites, all our communication has been exactly the same - word for word - as the texts and emails others on this page have described, he was resistant to any sort of viewing of the apartment, and he stopped replying once I made it clear I would not send him any information/an application without viewing the apartment first. Finally, after some more searching, I found the same pictures he used in the original Craigslist post listed under the same address by a legitimate property management company on Zillow for a different price.

Craigslist Rental Scam

First off the English is poor and he writer long emails that say because of Covid you you can tour the inside. But you can drive by and look at outside. Without even meeting me or having any information about me, he’s email said he would like to rent to me.
None of it made sense. Total scam. Beware the place will be way below market value
Always a sign of a scam!

Richard George forged his name on a California Department of Real Estate License, pertaining to Family Real Estate Network. Posing as the Broker of record. The license number ******** is valid, however the only and legal broker to this firm can be found at dre.ca.gov.

Richard George claims he has a rental unit of which he will ask you to sign a lease agreement, send funds to a P.O. Box, then he will send you keys to the unit. If you any questions of any of this individual's transactions, please call me at ************ ** ************
