Type of a scam Rental

Reality Scam

Saw a home for rent for a great price for my MIL on Redfin, sent request for more information. Within minutes I get a text from (562) 539-2511. Asked multiple questions about the property and rental stipulations, request to see home, etc auto reply with a link to fill out a pre-application and pay money before I can see home. Asked why as I have never had to do that to see a home. Asked what their name was and what reality company they were with - replied with Adam Sun and website of www.locayt.com
Googled website and something seemed off in comparison to many other realtors site I've seen. Questioned 'Adam' about it and just kept getting links to the forms and their policies from this fake website.

This coming lists properties that are not yet available to be rented. They list these prices at below market rates to attract interested parties. They they require a pre screening fee in order to schedule an appointment to view the property. The properties then are adjusted up in price closer to the availability date and after they have collected money from interested parties. They do not willingly state their refund policy. They claimed it is on a case by case basis.they have hundreds of properties listed on their site. Assuming it’s about $100 per application. That’s 10K if just one person applies. If you do the math, it does not take a long time to make millions off of these listing that they do not intent to honor the price. They are preying on people who don’t know any better or think “it’s just a small fee.” It adds up. Bait and switch tactics to people who are just trying to find a place to live.

Locat is a website that allows property owners to post their listings. It also allows for these owners to require a pre-application to appeal serious applicants. Well this is now the second time l've gone Through this process. They make you wait weeks after paying and submitting their pre application only to change the photos and price of the listings the day they offer you a chance to view the actually apartment in person. It’s like they try to trick you into applying for the property hoping you won’t notice they changed the price, well I notice. They falsify information and make you wait this is the second time I’ve gone through this.

Applied for a 2bdrm apartment through Zillow.com and filled out the application for me and my husband and put all our personal information on there and paid the application fees. Tried to contact them to cancel and there is no phone number listed on their website only a form to request for someone to contact you and no one ever does. This website is a scam. Lost $100 and had to cancel my card and get a new one and now im looking into how i can remove my personal information from the internet.
