UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – Local realtor William Coats is asking everyone to stop sharing Facebook Marketplace ads for Rent To Own or Rental homes if you don’t personally know the seller or person posting.
He says many unsuspecting people looking for homes get taken for deposits for homes by fake landlords that have a slick story about why they can’t meet in person.
Coats adds if you share these you are unknowingly assisting the scammers and your friends may think they are legitimate because you are posting them.
So bottom line, stop helping the scammers by sharing their social media posts.
