Zillow Group Inc.

This was a rental listing posted on Zillow. I had expressed interest in the home. They wrote back asking for my phone and email, which I provided (not thinking it to be unusual). Then Zillow blocked the listing, so I assumed something fishy was happening. The next day I received an email from Thomas Mohseni. I'm pasting the contents of the email below: Subject: !! Rental Information ** ** 2025 Fox Ridge Dr, Pasadena, CA 91107 Hello, Thank you for your interest! I'm Thomas Mohseni, new to landlording, but deeply attached to this home we recently moved from due to my job transfer to Grand Rapids MI (I’m a Sales Manager at Horizon Organic Foods). We planned to sell, but couldn’t part with its charm so we're offering it for long-term rent to someone who’ll love it as much as we have. No agents, no inflated prices, just a personal, straightforward process. Pets are welcome (as long as they play nice), and utility costs are already covered thanks to a government program I’m part of. Feel free to drive by the home to get a feel for the area. If you'd like interior photos or are ready to move forward, just return the rental questionnaire. We’ll then discuss how to proceed with the paperwork and how to get the keys to you if we find you’re a suitable tenant.

i applied for a rental home in cape coral florida on ZILLOW.com and he contacted me immediately. assuming zillow a reputable website for rentals and home buying i believed him to be the relator or landlord. he told me the house was under contract and offered me another home nearby, which i checked on zillow. he then gave me the code for that home to tour and everything and made me apply to the website https://invitationhomespree.com/ . he requested a $65 application form. i provided all of my personal information thinking it was legit because he allowed me to enter the home alone, with the code, to tour myself since he was"out of town". he now has all my information including SSN DOB DRIVERS LICENSE ACCOUNT NUMBERS ETC. i contacted 'Invitation homes' , the listing company listed on zillow to see if everything was legit and they assured me it was a scam and to report it. unfortunately i provided my information because he let me enter this zillow home. the first home address was xxxx academy blvd cape coral fl 33990 the address of the home is xxx SE 16th Terrace cape coral florida. this makes it very hard not to believe. and also very dangerous as anyone will go into the home and he could harm someone.

ZILLOW app/ REDFIN app/ REALTOR.COM - has listed personal family home in their websites without getting any authorization to have it listed - there were (3) homes they listed - which our family occupies and it is under a trust. It is illegal to list homes for sale and later state its not for sale now??? What kind of SCAM is that - also there is a tab where anyone can access and place their name as a owner??? The pictures taken are one shot, explanation of home doesnt even match! We want to remove all of these listings - it is not helping us as owners - you people are trying to sell a home not intended to be sold by owner? REQUEST TO REMOVE FROM WEBSITES!!!! you put it up - take it down. Response appreciated!!! [BBB Scam Type: Identity Theft] [Business: ZILLOW APP REDFIN APP REALTOR.COM Da] [Location: HI, USA- 96791]
