Kansas City Home Scam Alert: $1M Property Listed for $10K
In a shocking discovery, a couple in Kansas City found their $1 million home falsely listed for a mere $10,200 on Zillow, raising alarms about the prevalence of online real estate scams. The Bertrams, who had no intentions of selling their house, were alerted by friends about the fraudulent listing, which was part of a wider trend of scammers using stolen photos and descriptions to lure unsuspecting victims. These scammers often seek personal information or payments for property walkthroughs, as was the case when individuals showed up at the Bertrams' doorstep, prompted by a scammer with a Las Vegas area code charging $200 for home tours. Zillow addressed the incident, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining a secure platform and educating users on safeguarding themselves both online and offline. However, the response time from Zillow was criticized, as action was delayed until mainstream media coverage increased. This incident serves as a stark warning to consumers to remain vigilant in the face of too-good-to-be-true deals. Moreover, the real estate market is showing signs of positive movement with builders returning and an increase in home supply across all states, which could be good news for Zillow shares, despite the scam incident. Potential home buyers are advised to exercise caution and verify listings to avoid falling prey to such deceptive practices.
