Scam listing on Zillow?

I receive search results in my area from Zillow and this listing came up on Feb 15:

http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1025-W-9200-N-Richmond-UT-84333/2108740234_zpid/

It's a luxury condo in Miami Beach listed by Harry Johnson of Rent 1 Sale 1. The first results on Google for "Harry Johnson Miami Florida" are from ripoff.com and the like.

The aerial shows alfalfa fields and the description hypes 360 degree views of Biscayne Bay & Atlantic Ocean. Unlikely in Utah. Also, the agent is tickling the listing so it's showing up repeatedly as new activity.

I've reported the problem 3 times to Zillow and once to the agent, but the listing has not been updated or removed.

Is Zillow always this slow to address problematic listings?

If this is a scam, what's the angle?

Thanks,
Wm

Where do you think? it is a scam? Just because someone is on the ripoff.com does not make it true.
