REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — The Loft Blog has received many calls this week from prospective renters who are reporting suspicious online property rental listings on websites with a history of apartment scams. The property listing above is most likely a scam, based on the size, price and other factors. If you see an ad like this, flag it!
Properties that are listed on Craigslist, Apartments.com, Rocketlease, Textme or property websites for an unusually cheap rental price for the size and quality should be a big warning sign of fraud. Identities and money are being stolen. Be alert! If the owner or manager is out of town, unavailable, unknown, unverified or suspicious, then do NOT provide any personal information or payment.
Fake apartment postings are exploding, especially during times of economic downturn, and during the holidays. The rental condo con artists are out in force around Downtown and the Greater Los Angeles Area. Don’t let them steal your identity or your money. Don’t fall for this kind of real estate scam! Please flag these fake postings.
