🚨 Very Important Information 🚨 PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨 thank you Taylor Hastings, Realtor, for bringing this to our attention 🚨
🚨 Scam Alert! Please Read & Share! 🚨
I’ve noticed an increase in TikTok scam accounts stealing listing photos from Realtors and reposting them as “rentals” even when the homes are actually for sale.
These fake accounts often claim you need to send money upfront for an application, deposit, or even just to schedule a showing. This is a scam.
As a local Realtor, I want you to know that legitimate Realtors do not ask for money upfront just to tour a property. If something feels off, trust your instincts.
I’ve already reported multiple fake accounts, but they continue to pop up. The more people who are aware, the less likely these scammers are to take advantage of someone looking for a home.
If you ever come across a listing and aren’t sure if it’s legitimate, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You’re always more than welcome to message me to verify whether something is real or not. I’m happy to help! 🙂 Even if it’s not my listing, I’d rather help you avoid a scam.
