8/26/25 I saw a listing for a 3bd, 2ba home in mesquite texas for $1600 rent included. It was on the realtor.com app. I hit the contact button and the next morning I got a text from the "owner" Pecora James. He sent us a code to "view" the house and we did. It was beautiful. We got started on our application ($20) and did I mention we also got a email 8/27/25 saying him and his wife, Glenn moved to Florida and need someone to take care of their house. *eye roll*. We eventually got the lease to sign and pay for the first month's rent + security deposit. He asked we wire the money (btw we were texting and doing calls). Thank GOODNESS my husband bank was like "something doesnt sound right!" she denied us from sending the money and said if we prove he owns the property than we can continue but for now no. We understood, when we call the man back he got mad and told us we should have "said we're sending it to family/friends because its faster and THEY WONT ASK POINTLESS QUESTIONS." Then we asked if we could get proof he owned it and he got mad and said he'll find someone else to rent and we said ok! My husband remembered in the house we saw an "Invitations Homes" sign on the back door. So I looked them up and they are the owners so we contacted them and I tried to report scam on every renters website I could find with it on and not listed under Invitation homes.
We also had to change debit cards, get a new bank account number because that information was given in the process. He sent us a link to some site "The Home Legal" aka homelegalonline.com. to "apply".
We also did a police report.
We're mad, annoyed, egos are hurt but we only lost $20 and time. It could have be worse and we would have been without $3000, so Im greatful and dont wish this to happen to anyone else. I will add pictures. Stay safe out there! "Pecore James" can kick rocks.

We got code to view the place, and we did a $20 application fee, and $1300 deposit.. there was an invitationhomes paper inside, and I called them, and asked why my home wasn’t off the listing and they said because it was never taken off… and I immediately knew I was scammed..

I found an ad on Avail.com. It also popped up for me on Realtor.com.
My first reaction was definitely "too good to be true" but I tested the theory. From what I know about the area I was looking to rent a home in, and what places go for-- it was too low. I googled all images and realized it did not add up.
I noticed the pictures on more "accredited" sites were noticeably different. Those prices were exactly what was to be expected. I then went back, googled the address and reported it on all other sites, that had the same misleading information, including the number that contacted me.
I received a text from the number 207-249-2654 asking how soon I planned on moving in. That phone number is out of the state I lived in, so I knew it was not real. It also gave the name Pecora James, which seemed very odd to me. So I googled that name, which is what I usually do for all rental results. Usually it connects to a person who has a residency or social media. This number and name did not connect to anything but ScamPulse!

After reading the review, I decided to make my own, so people are more aware.

From a listing posted on Rent.com, I applied for more information and a tour from the landlord listed. Afterward I received an application from AVAIL which required personal information to complete a renter screening, including my social security number, driver license, and a pay stub from my work. This information was submitted (at least the SSN was supposedly encrypted) to TransUnion for a background check. All of this was within my session on AVAIL. The next day, I see my AVAIL background check was completed by TransUnion. And then I received a new email from a new person claiming to be the landlord of the rental property for which I applied. This person had a different name than the AVAIL check requestor but the same number as the original posted listing on Rent.com. He supplied a link to the below site which he was soliciting more information from me, including most of the things I had already provided AVAIL but additionally asking for "how much money I would be willing to put as a down payment (the more months I prepay the better the deal for rent)." He also reached via text and asked me when I could move in and how many people would be residents. The scariest part was that he offered for me to visit anytime as a self-oriented walk through since he was out of state and would just give me the pass code. I'm not sure what would've happened if I had gone, but since both Rent.com has removed the listing and AVAIL accredited my credit card for the application fee.

Same email and phone number was sent to me. The number was tied to Maine. The email stated they were a family from Florida. I didn't go any further responding to the email than that. Thank you very much for posting this!
