The Craigslist scam now hitting Ebay

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with ERA American Real Estate

A reminder came out from my local MLS board that property management scams on Craigslist, is also making the rounds on EBay and other websites.

 From collectibles to cars, buy and sell all kinds of items on eBay

 

Members of Ebay need to be aware that scam artists are posting residential listings, complete with pictures, online.

The fraudulent listings are posted with incorrect contact information, usually just an email.

This is usually only brought to the agent's attention when a potential buyer sees the post online and then drives by the property and sees the agent's sign and calls them directly.

If this happens to one of your listings, contact the website company directly to let them know it needs to be removed as this is spreading to other websites as well and make sure to contact local authorities to alert them.
