Zillow Group Inc.

I saw a great listing on Zillow for a 1-bed 1-bath in Glendale, CA that was a steal- huge square footage, all the amenities, nice appliances, all in a safe area. I expressed interest, and was followed up with Davide Dagostino, a supposed agent from Justlet Properties. He asked me to fill out a "pre-rental application" questionnaire, which I completed (including my name, address, and phone number). The next day, he said I was approved, and promised that I could have a private early showing of the unit provided I submitted a payment consisting of the security deposit and the first month's rent. Davide also provided his EIN, which I thought was strange. Because my boyfriend was also going to be on the lease, and Davide asked me to send over his application questionnaire responses and both of our documentation (front and back of drivers licenses and proof of income). I started feeling uneasy, as this behavior isn't standard rental procedure. Why would he ask for me to send over documentation and such a large deposit before even seeing the unit? After doing some research, I found several red flags. First off, the Justlet Company website is very sloppily put together, consisting of many errors and inconsistencies. The photo of "Davide" is actually a stock photo, I reverse searched the image and found it on multiple other websites. Also, the contact phone number for the company differed from their websites to various online listings. I tried to call numerous numbers, but none of them went through. Davide eventually shared his phone number and we connected on the phone. During the call, he was very unprofessional and didn't answer any of my questions about the complex, but pushed me to send over the money as soon as I can if I was serious as he had "a lot of other interest". Later, he sent over obviously fake lease and refund agreements, promising that [BBB Scam Type: Rental] [Business: Just Let Properties IMPOSTER Date R] [Locat

Looking for good price on gallon of Hibiclens. Their website came up with a very good price and I ordered it. By the next morning, I hadn't received an order confirmation. Dialed phone number they had listed, disconnected. Looked address up on Zillow, it was a nice home in Ocala, FL. Went to my credit card website to see if purchase had gone through yet. It was pending, and listed address of China. I immediately knew it was a scam and called my credit card company to deactivate my credit card. They will dispute but said, just in case, to wait a little to see if the item arrives before they do so. Plenty of time, it has not arrived. Found at least one other hit on my search for Hibiclens for this "company," different price, phone number and address (San Francisco). @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 6 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-pare [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Gameballsod] [Location: IL, USA- 61282]

The company posted a 2 bedroom apartment for rental on Zillow Rental Website. I requsted a viewing of the property and a date was scheduled. I came to the property and was met by a lady who said her name was Margaret. She showed me a 1st floor apartment and after viewing she told me that she would be sending me a message and a lease if i wanted to move forward but she also stated that i woud have to send the initial deposit via Zelle after signing the lease. I reviewed the lease that was sent via Zillow and signed it. Then i received a message stating that they were going to send me their company phone number so that i could send them the deposit via Zelle. I didnt feel comfortable doing that so i messaged them and asked them to provide me with their office location and i was told that their office was in the same building as the apartment. Which the lady never mentioned that to me while i was there. I then called the BBB to see if this was a legit company and they could not find any company with that name. So i filed this scam report in hopes that no one else goes through anything like this. .css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 12 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-parent-columns) - 12) * (var(--Grid-parent-colu [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Re Global llc] [Location: IL, USA- 60640]

Scammer supposedly hacked property manager’s Zillow account and acted as the property manager. First they requested a screening fee. Then they requested a deposit. They agreed to make upgrades to the property and said the upgrades were happening and requested more money to help pay for the upgrades such as windows and carpets. When I finally said I’m not sending more money they said they were unable to show me the property until I had made more deposits. The property manager used the actual property manager‘s name. I also received emails from a business named Wali Gordon rentals. I made the payments through Zelle and PayPal to an account by the name of James Bass and also James Bass 43. Ultimately, I got in touch with the real owner and property manager by asking the neighbor to the property for their contact information. Thus confirming that all of the previous conversations had in fact been fraudulent. @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit- [BBB Scam Type: Rental] [Business: Wali Gordon Rentals Imposter Date Re] [Location: CA, USA- 92130]

I booked a vacation stay at a home via this website (and was listed as "Official Site" by Google) listed as Breckenridge Homes. I entered all of my personal contact information as well as a credit information. A day later, I got a confirmation email but noticed that the contact property address was different than what I thought I had rented. I reached out to the text number, emailed and called the number (however, it said Voicemail wasn't set up). As I investigated more thoroughly, I noticed that none of the property reviews had come from Breckenridge Homes (it was other vacation rental websites like VRBO) and I dug further to find out that the property description on their website didn't match Zillow and other real estate websites (stating it was a 3 BR when in reality, it was a 5 BR). That's when I cancelled the credit card and reported this incident via the BBB website. @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex [BBB Scam Type: Travel/Vacation/Timeshare] [Business: Breckenridge Homes] [Location: CO, USA- 80126]

My brief look into this website has confused me: Noirel.shop I recently saw an ad for this purse on Instagram, and since I have been actively looking for a new purse, I decided to check it out. However, the website is quite unusual. On the surface, it seems pretty reputable; the website is well-made. However, when you start looking for specific details, you come up empty. For one, there's only one product available on the website, and if you scroll through the homepage, all "Explore Noirel" and "Discover us" links lead back to that singular product. They have what seem like legitimate photos (four in total, one at the tope with a blond model and three as you scroll with I think the same brunette model) showing off the bag, but I suspect at least one is AI, though I can't be sure. Checking the Hamburger Menu, they only have Home, Catalog, and Contact. Clicking on Catalog shows you they only have two products, the purse and a matching key chain, and the Contact page is simply a box where you can enter Name, Email, Phone number, and a comment, nothing about the website. As far as I can see, there is no About Us, not even an email on the website. At this point, I'm already pretty sure it's a scam, but out of curiosity, I kept digging. When looking up the website itself, it's really hard to find unless you already have the link. Looking up "Noirel Shop" leads to a bunch of other established websites with Noir in the name, and Google will even try to correct you; you have to specify "bags" or "purses". It's clearly extremely new. You can't really find it unless it was advertised to you, and there has been no talk about it online. If you search up the URL on Dupli Checker for the Domain Age, it says the domain was created on 2025-08-06 01:22:02, updated on 2025-08-06 01:22:15 and 2025-08-06 01:24:05, and it expires on 2026-08-06 23:59:59. Clearly it's very new, which could explain why it only has one product, but further looking confuses me because of how it is presented.

Potential Rental Scam? I found a rental property listing on Zillow and reached out to the owner. He scheduled a call to provide more details. During the conversation, he mentioned that he lives in Canada and owns two rental properties in the U.S. He was transparent and seemed very pleasant. We scheduled a viewing with his property manager, and I loved the place. When I inquired about the application process, the owner expressed concerns about my income since I’ve only been with my new job for a couple of weeks. I understood his concerns and had a family member offer to co-sign. We sent over photos of our IDs and employment info. However, after researching further, I realized that co-signing could create potential issues for my family member’s future rental applications, so we decided not to pursue that option. I reached out to the landlord to discuss our concerns, and he proposed a compromise: I would pay a larger deposit and remove my family member from the arrangement. We agreed to this. Later, the landlord emailed me the lease to review and sign, but he did not run a background or credit check on me. I asked if I could pay the deposit via international money order, but he said it would only be through Venmo. The landlord has sent me photos of his driver’s license, both his U.S. and Canadian passports, and a selfie of him holding his passport. I did some research and found him online, including a YouTube video of him giving a speech. While I’ve verified that he seems to be a real person, I’m still not entirely sure if I’m actually speaking to him. I’ve cross-checked the rental property address, and it matches his ownership records. The phone number matches the one listed for the agent who showed us the property, and he’s been very communicative via text and call. While a lot of the information checks out, there are still some red flags that make me uneasy. I really want to rent this place—it’s perfect for what I’m looking for—but I’m worried that it could be
