Recently, the high demand and lack of inventory has presented an opportunity for scam artists.

Even the local police called me to confirm I wasn't scamming this person. 

I get a large response because its a really nice house in a really nice area, so I spent considerable amount of time talking, emailing, showing, reviewing, screening, etc.That and now that it’s been listed, delisted, and listed again I fear I’ll have a more difficult time because people will assume either there is something wrong with the house, or it’s a scam.To be honest, I’m a little worried these people are scamming me, we will be holding funds until the check is completely cleared and will be following up with the bank.

Is this a scam or something I should look into? 

directmail dot com is apparently a scam (20% of the email addresses were garbage too)Miscalculated the stamps

Being a new investor, I just never knew there could be scams on services like Zillow.

So be careful your not getting scammed

Hello,My rental ad on Zillow rental manager did attract multiple prospective tenants but they fell under the following four categories:1) Tenants with pets2) Tenants who were bargaining a lot.3)Tenants who had weak financials but willing to pay rent inspite of their income well below 3x4) Few tenants whose profile good on surface but their phone numbers were flagged as "scam likeli"I personally am not comfortable renting to all the four categories listed above so it has delayed finding a tenant for me besides I haven't been very aggressive pursuing tenants as I had plans of selling .Now I have decided to postpone selling, what are the other best ways to find tenants quickly.

Most of the financials are fabricated, and everything is a soap bubble, like the Chinese bike rental scam businesses that really existed to make money for the owners.

After it’s settled cancel this scam and use the savings for future parts.
