Scam Alert

Hello fellow investors. I just got off the phone with the victim of a scam on people looking for rent to own houses.

Basically, this lady had started some 7 day trial with a company for finding rent to own homes. When she called them to cancel before the 7 days were up, they at first hung up on her, then they told her she had to go to rto4you.com (my website) and call the number on there to cancel. I told her to immediately call her CC company and also contact her State Attorney General's office.

I have had voicemails in the past 3 or 4 weeks from people either a.) looking for rent to own properties in various states (I only invest in Columbus, Ohio) or b.) wanting to cancel their trial membership.

This is the first person I have actually been able to get a hold of live so I was pretty bummed to find out some scammer was using me to run their scam.

I just put a scam alert on my website and hope this will save some people the headaches a scammer can cause.

The scammer phone number she called was 877-468-9238. When I googled it I see it is tied to a "fake" company website for credit repair, rent to own and auto loans.

Just wanted to get this out to the community. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?
