The scammer posted a fake ad on KSL.com under the name Anthony. The scammer pretended to be the homeowner. In reality the home was owned by American Homes 4 Rent and was listed on their website for about $2700 per month to rent. I reached out to the number from the fake ad via text thinking I was talking to the owner of the home. The fake ksl ad was listed at $1125 per month. The scammer told me to go tour the home. When I got to the home, there were about ten other people there self-touring the home. All these people had been brought there by the scammer. The scammer sent me an application which I filled out with my current address, full name, credit score and various other info. The scammer then asked for $150 application fee. I told the scammer I wasn’t comfortable paying anything without it being guaranteed that I would get to rent the property. The scammer told me to go back to the house and take the key with me. This was his way of guaranteeing my spot. He said he would send me the lease contract via email. I went back to the home and he emailed me a very obvious fake lease that didn’t even specify an address to send rent money. He claimed the document was legitimate and was trying to persuade me to send him a security deposit, first month’s rent and $150 for background checks for a total of $2,400. I’m very lucky that I was wise to the scam and didn’t lose any money, however I’m very uncomfortable knowing that he has some of my personal info such as my name, address and my email. I wonder how many of the people I saw touring the house fell victim to his scam. The scammer also knew the code to the lockbox. I called American Homes 4 Rent and reported the whole incident to the fraud department. They informed me that all their homes are owned by the company and not by an individual. What makes this worse is this is about the third time this has happened with this company. Twice before I have responded to ads like this, showed up to properties and seen the AH4R sign in the yard. All three times it has been a scammer. This company is extremely sketchy and even though AH4R is a real company that leases homes, there is obviously a lot of vulnerabilities within their business that allow these scammers to do this. Every single AH4R home in the area has a scam being run alongside the actual listing of the house. This reflects extremely poorly on AH4R. Something extremely fishy is going on with them in my area and I hate to think how many thousands of dollars people have lost to these scams. The woman I talked to on the phone from the fraud department at AH4R told me they are aware of this issue and she even explained to me and broke down exactly how these scammers are doing all of this, from posting the fake ads to obtaining the actual lockbox code and more. She went into detail about how scammers walk victims through signing up for a self-guided tour on the legitimate service Rently.com. This is how the scammer actually obtains the lockbox code. It was as if this woman had run this scam before herself. If they are so aware of this issue you would expect them to do something about it. I will never give this company my business and will avoid any rental properties with their sign. Anyone with less sense than me would have lost $2,400 yesterday. I’m absolutely sure many people have fallen for this horrible scam, and AH4R could not even care less. If they did care they would fix their horribly broken business model. I won’t jump to any conclusions but looking at this situation, one could easily get the sense that this company is playing directly into the hands of these horrible scammers. At the very least they are tolerating people using their business to scam.

I did not respond.

Scammer tried to rent me out a house for $1000 when listed on a realtor website for $1865. He put in time and effort by providing me a code to unlock the house and view it and I almost believed him.

This gentleman calls (Anthony) and informs me he is an investigator. He is looking at a case against me about magazines that i promised to pay for back in 1998 that i did not (but actually I did!!). According to him they are planning to proceed with the case against me unless I pay money today. This is now the second time I have gotten this call. First time was a lady and I told her to proceed. That was back in March and nothing ever came of it. Now they have gone to the extent to call my place of employment and telling them I have legal issues, that I do not have. The number is out of New York and debit collectors do not go back over 20 years and deferentially do not hire investigators.

A man, Anthony ext. 1756214, called me three times today claiming to be the IRS. Stated that I owed $3,600 for five years of tax filings. They asked who did my taxes and how much money I could pay. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he stated that there would be a warrant out for my arrest. I said I would not give any informaiton and he hung up. He gave a case number, DC1928.
