When rendering tech support for clients, I sometimes find myself having to explain why a nobody should be sending their internet sweetheart money via gift card codes or crypto. Often times the these client believe the BS they've been told by the scammers. With every nugget of knowledge, I dispense they have a response. Sometimes I think it's a lost cost fallacy scenario. The scam mule doesn't want to admit that they've been acting a fool for over a year.

You wouldn’t think it happens, but there are a lot of people that are desperate for a home and will send the “deposit” without even thinking twice or even seeing the home.

Thanks for posting this. I worked as a leasing agent for homes 10 years ago and this is what we ran into a lot. Sometimes these scammers would say they are doctors who left the country on a mission trip, were in an accident and seeking medical help somewhere else, they need someone to just take care of their house temporarily, etc. They often would have an excuse of why they are no longer using a realtor and sometimes will tell people to ignore the lock box on the door or just cut it off. I have even ran into somebody who sent a large security deposit and first months rent to a scammer and we’re living in one of our houses that we were getting ready to do construction on. We couldn’t get their money back, but we gave them some money to help them out. These guys are jerks and will always try and make it quick buck. I always tell renters to never give money to anyone they have not met in person. There are also ways to check to make sure who is actually the owner of the home.

Wow. I was scammed years ago with the same exact scenario. Me and the wife contacted the ad, the "owner" was looking to rent the place out, said he was a truck driver and on the road, gave us the code to look at the place, and came to an agreement we wanted it. Once again he was " on the road" and we only dealt with him on text. Lesson learned later of course BUT never go forward if you never meet the person. We reluctantly paid the deposit and after contact went dead afterwards. Again i was in a bad spot at the time and thought nothing of it, but lost out, but recovered. So in conclusion thank you for going after these scammers, sometimes a minor win in justice is served by individuals as yourself.

7:10 *"but I can't talk very well cos the shock **_are_** still in my body according to my Doctor"* 😁 I always love these very structured sentences. This made me laugh (while also constantly replaying), until tears came to my eyes 😁 Sometimes, just something silly makes us laugh... Good for the heart.

Thank you for doing this. I'm a property Manager and have had several people call to check on the units being available after they were scammed on Facebook Marketplace. Luckily the ones I have talked to did thier homework before they paid.

The owners of the house are also victims of this scam, if the house is actually real. I've heard stories of people showing up to vacation rentals, just to see the house is already occupied for months.

So my mom is elderly and called me one day frantic about some will my grandfather had left her. Of course at first I was more than happy for her since it was a decent amount. Everything seemed legit until she started asking me to take her to the store to get gift cards. Mind you she don't even know what they are . That was the first red flag. l asked her what she would possibly need an Apple gift card if one she don't know what they are for and 2 she don't own anything Apple! She proceeded to tell me that her "lawyer " needs them to process a payment for paperwork she needs done. Regardless of me telling her it's a scam she won't believe me! Now they sent her some paper work saying he signed this will in 2022 . Mind you my grandfather passed back in 2010 so how could he sign this document !! Well she won't believe me so if anyone could help me scare this scammer please

The reason you couldn’t post the ad on marketplace is because your account was too new. They make sure your account is at least a couple of weeks old before you can post on marketplace.

I had a friend almost lose their number to a google voice scam or what not, but I gave them a number that I used for google voice and got all sorts of phone call for a fishing cart. Eventually I set up a voice mail telling that this is probably a scam and to be careful and haven’t had a call since then, but every once in a while I do.
