They are using Airbnbs to scam desperate renters MILLION$$$

[@ellabee-7938]

Thanks for this useful info. There’s fraud everywhere nowadays. You have to be careful with all transaction you do. My phone is plagued everyday with calls from so call Amazon billing. I live in Canada and here these scammers call you day and night

[@patriciayarber3356]

And Walmart.

[@maraf5715]

Great tips especially about requesting landlord ownership and bills (water/light) 👍🏾

[@sharonlynnanderson0229]

I looking at Airbnb because I need at least a month rental. Thank you so much. As an American we work hard for the money and don’t want the scammers.

[@sharonkay6975]

Hell no! I am terrified 😨 of doing any type or form of business in my Jamaica..buy house rent house sell house...I just visit and enjoy my beautiful Jamaica...just don't know who to trust...family or friends...

[@WhatJamaican]

Once a mother and her two sons showed up at my home. I saw them on my camera walking around the premises. I had only been living there for about a month. Long story short, someone had copied my home's info from a previous ad, listed the property "for rent", taken this family's money and they showed up to find out they had been scammed. The mother showed me the ad on her cell phone (thru the window becuz I refused to open the door). This is not just limited to Jamaica. I see the ad's all the time. They will show you a mansion for an unbelievable price, then ask for all your info and funds before they will give you an address, telling the consumer they want to ensure you are "serious". So many scams.

[@joanedwards4016]

Thanks so very much guys,very important and informative 👍

[@EvaRocks]

Don't b surprised the locals operating Air B and B's in Jamaica STOP renting to locals. Sad truth!

[@teejay6631]

That is why when you are renting its best to use a Realtor even for sale purpose a Real Estate Co. is best to use.

[@rolandawilliams2010]

I agree that we do have rental agencies in the paper that my friend and I tried twice and were not successful.

[@godsanointed4182]

so true great videos and ideas to help those renters who are not willing to do their due digilents...

[@dorisdemmitt6540]

People must be more alerts these days before they give out there information because they are getting warnings every day about scamming and what to look out for people need to do research before they get into business with these crooks thanks for your information sound the alarm

[@garymack4650]

Also Do Not Accept cheques on Fridays Saturdays or Sundays. Monies deposited to you account should not be on hold. Funds must be available

[@kerry-annmason5301]

Who did your drywall? It looks amazing. Great video by the way

[@mesandz2623]

Informative info… this kind of scamming isn’t good for Jamaica… with the financial fraud! Maybe there needs to be an agency that manages rentals RBB that give tenants a code and i’hence the agency responsible for reimbursement.

[@KimberlyStJohn-mo7bv]

I always seh is the consumer. A them a give the money. Ask for proof of ownership.

[@rocquelll-pi5sb]

family members had a similar experience it was in Spanish Town and the peed on some money in the house and lawyer fee and other deposit money and then when it was time to acquire the hosted told him that the person renting selling the house does not have the papers are the title so this really resonated with me as it was a personal experience and I'm glad that they're persons persons out there sensitizing people as to what these

[@yuhz1m1]

Scammers really out here scamming.

[@kuyahkudey3217]

Please keep in mind that these rental scams happen a lot in the USA. This is not just a JA thing.

Have a picture of your customer on file. This is done here in UK. No photo no rental.

[@lavernfrater5235]

Big up both of you on the good job u r doing

[@paulinebowen4681]

You have to be very careful buying selling any kind of properties now matter where’s you are you have to make sure you do some kind of background check on some of these people you are renting to make sure they are not scammers and have a clean record renting before and don’t over charge them especially Airbnb

[@AAHomeGardening]

People have to be super careful indeed

[@tinachambers1376]

If there is a paper trail from the bank that means they can be caught .. also camera footage can locate them

[@karlblak7500]

These choppas have learned this from the overseas choppas.Its going on in North America and airbnd have crackdown hard on these choppas.These choppas rent people place and turn around renting out the place at a higher cost to pocket the difference.They call it arbitrary rental,usually there is no place

[@yuhz1m1]

Does going through a realtor to find a rental property protect you from being scammed?

[@TheDelprattFamily]

Yes as long as it’s a legit/registered realtor

[@specialkreations4816]

Indeed

[@gamalwilliams5206]

​@@TheDelprattFamily this is not new I live in Canada an they Rob people so all the time not only Jamaica

[@KerrAndCoRealEstate]

Yes. Save my contacts.

[@drapaul10]

Very insightful

[@ellihall2266]

You need references from the prospected tenants as to who know if them. Ie history or background check, this is done in the UK no one will get a rental without reference and this means bank reference. Without this no tenancy. References. Like CRB check.

[@yvettekinchking8838]

Thinking the same

[@lilliethsmith1884]

[@mightygod8437]

Air bed and breakfast (initially when this first came about, many hosts offered their air beds which worked).

[@cfearon2391]

​@TheDelprattFamily are people using the official AIRBNB site to register or looking in the newspapers.

[@TheJodyWright]

[@wowfactor2615]

Ppl have to be vigilant and be mindful of scammers.

[@danielrichards3647]

Do you have cameras inside the property? Would you recommend that?

[@TheDelprattFamily]

Only applicable in a shared space. That’s against the rules. Invasion of privacy

[@sushanayoung1302]
