Abc 7 news is committed to building a better bay area, and the oafocus now is the housing crisis. We talked about a family that lost their home and had to live in their car. Housing scams like this one are not limited to longterm rentals. Melanie woodrow found the same thing can happen when it comes to shorter term Vacation Rentals. Exactly. This story came about as i was reporting on another story in bodega bay. While i was there, i noticed a home with signs warning people if they were on vacation and had paid to rent that home they had been scammed. We did some digging. Not every rental you see online is real. Bodega bay, home to blue skies, beaches and breezes, a visitors paradise. Unless youre someone who paid to rent a home here that wasnt actually for rent. Leaving you out of cash and with no place to stay. Terrible. Theyve been duped. Nobody wants to feel that theyve been duped. Reporter they own this bodega home property. Its their Second Property for lazy weekends. They bought it in 2017 and suspect someone took photos of the house from a real estate website and created a craigslist ad listing it for rental. Sure enough, people who paid to rent it showed up at the doorstep. Showed me a receipt. Reporter but they have never rented their home. Of course they were very disappointed. Reporter the couple reached out to craigslist. Craigslist got the message that they better take it down, so they so they did. Most of the time the suspects are from out of country. Reporter the chances of finding those responsible . Slim to none. Reporter it can be far worse than a spoiled vacation. In june we told you about the gonzalez family. They paid someone 10,000 to move into a south San Francisco home, not knowing that person was posing as the property owner. When the real landlord found out shall t out, the family had to move out. For several days, they lived in their van. Its recommended to rent through vrbo or airbnb. If you want to do a craigslist, have them give you a list of people who have rented before and get those reviews to make sure youre dealing with a credible source. Reporter i found seven bodega rentals on craigslist. Two responded to my inquiries. One was able to provide me with three references with phone numbers of guests who had previously rented the property. Two of the tlepeople called me k and shared photos about their stay. One said good day. The Payment Option is paypal or bit coin. We have a website for secure booking. When i wrote back asking for the secure booking web sootsite and talk on the phone about the rental i never heard back. Signs on every entrance to their house that read this property is not for rent. You may have responded to an ad in craigslist the you have been scammed, deceived into prepaying rent for this property by criminals. Their home a respite from city life but not from the issues that sometimes go along with it. Craigslist did not respond to my immediate request, but on its website lists tips for avoiding scams, including to never provide payment to someone youve not met in person and never rent sight unseen. Thats a hard one. Craigslist says be on the lookout for poor grammar or spelling in emails and a refusal to meet facetoface to complete transaction. Those are red flags for sure. The best tip i think we got was to ask for references. People who have rented previously and ask for photos. Who they are and who they say they are. And hopefully theres no scam on that part.
