the website https://www.locayt.com is for scammers. all the property they listed are fake. They contact you once you choose a "fake" housing/rental property to apply to. They text you right away requesting $49 fee for a pre-screening fee than a "agent" is supposed to contact you for a showing. Than they will try to get you to "buy" a quote for renters insurance. Don't Do It! They say after touring the property if you don't like it, they will refund you the $49. This is the "Refund" scam. After that you won't hear from them again, I try calling the credit and bank but they say they couldn't do anything and you have to contact them. Its all automated texts and answering machines. They are very sophisticated becuase I have try everything to get my $49 dollars back. Trust I will take them down one day. Trust and believe. Trust and believe and I'm see the scammers faces one day behind this targeting vulnerable people and the elderly. If you know how to take down this fake website, please do it.

On any website where you can look for houses, apartments, or condos for rent the company going by locayt lists houses that were at one point legitimately for rent steals the information and pictures and reposts the listing themselves. The listing they make is fake and when you try to rent the apartment they make you pay for and send a pre screen of all your personal information after this an AI chat person going by Adam contacts you via phone text message and acts as realator it obviously isnt and after already giving them your money they egg you on so you think youll be contacted by the house your trying to rent but you never get contacted because the property isnt actually for rent anymore. Dont be stupid and fall for this like we did.

I saw a house for rent at 1244 S. Orange in Fresno, ca. I called the number and was not able to speak to a live person. A few seconds after, received a text from the same number. The man said I had to first pay a $49.00 fee to "view property". If I don't go through with it, money will be refunded. If I do go through with it, the $49 will be used towards the cost. I paid the $49. After I paid and was texting with the man, he then said I needed renters insurance. After that, I knew it was NOT right. Why would he demand renters insurance when I hadn't even seen property yet. I told him I changed my mind and wanted a refund. He said he couldn't give me a refund until after viewing. I then googled "Locayt" and right away the ScamPulse.com popped up and I read it. It's all a scam! Please DO NOT give these people your money. Something needs to be done!!!!!!!!! He tried to get more money from me for renters insurance, luckily I realized something was wrong before. I lost $49.

Locayt is a supposedly a Management company that has several rentals in California. They request you pay for application fee and within 5-7 days, youll be approved for a rental. Its been well over the time frame, i notified them only through filling out a form or you attempt calling the fake number that a AI robot answers and states youll hear from someone in 24 hrs. This never happens and they still take your money.

In a clause they have it states if you dont qualify, theyll return your money back. Well this isnt true becasue there is no live person to talk to and they keep stealing my money.

I saw an apartment listing online for 47 Astor Ct. in Sayreville, NJ 08872 for $2,700. I then went to apply for a tour. The scammer texted me back saying fill out a prescreen application. I then put in all my personal info until I got to the page that said pay $49 fee. I tried calling the number and it is an AI. The AI woman said that I would receive a call back. Then the scammer Adam texted me. I asked if he could call and he said he couldnt because everything had to be done electronically. I then drove by the location and the person who actually lives there and stated that this is definitely a scam. I told them that the apartment is listed and showed them the listing that is on several different sites along with the scammers fake locayt info that is set up like an actual website

This "company" LOCAYT.COM responded to my inquiry about two rental properties in New York City. They said that their company does "pre-screening" as a service to landlords/real estate management companies and that the $49 fee will go toward a pre-screening credit process and that the money will go toward paying for the full credit check if I'm approved. They said it takes 5 days to complete the pre-screen process. They respond via text and it's clearly an AI message system. They continue to say I'll hear from them soon though it's been several days past the 5 day period. Stay AWAY from this fraudulent "business."

Viewing rental sites on Zumper app on iphone, when putting in interest for rental property, text and email response to apply for a tour came via Locayt. They responded to email/texts and phone calls regarding application questions. No responses about application or a tour time. Additional messages from them about following up by calling and to apply with no mention of previous application.

On Redfin, there's an apartment listing for 24 Mott Street in Manhattan for a 1-bed 1-bath apartment for $2000/mo. I requested more information, and I immediately got an email and a text (from a person saying their name was Adam) with a link to a website called Locayt. It askes for a bunch of personal information (place of work, credit score, Photo ID etc) then asks for a $50 "pre-screening fee" to schedule a tour that says its refundable or goes towards the deposit. I texted "Adam" saying I would only give the $50 after the tour if I liked it and his response was "Totally get it. Just so you know, the pre-screening fee is refundable if you decide not to move forward after the tour. It's required before scheduling."

I responded to a rental listing on rent.com and was contacted by “Adam” who told me to fill out a $49 pre-screening application and get a renters insurance quote on Locayt.com. I should’ve known not to pay anything for a place I haven’t seen and the deal was too good to be true. Adam is a bot and I got scammed.

I browsed websites like zillow.com and apartments.com to find apartments and this website locayt duplicates previous listings with much lower prices to lure in potential tenants into applying for apartments that are not even vacant

Be extremly careful with locayt.com they dont even have a phone number to contact.

There was a property on Redfin app for rent, and it's information was through Locayt, were you go through a "screening process" to view the property, charging $49.00 dollars.

The process takes you to their web site, were they ask personal information, so they can "review you" for their "screening process".

Every Inquiry was done by an AI assistant.

I never got an answer.

I was on Redfin trying to find an apartment and found a listing that needed me to apply on locayt. It’s been a week and I haven’t received anything. I tried calling but it goes to a robot.

I found a listing on Redfin for an apartment that was in a popular location and a couple hundred less than what it would normally rent for. The only way to schedule a showing was to pay an application fee of $49.00. I received a follow up email saying my application was received but the property was not actually for rent - I reached out to a local realtor. I looked at the listing, and the property history showed the unit had been listed and reslisted several times within the last couple weeks. But the property was not up for rent - per the owner. 41 Central Street, Concord, MA 01742
