A Seattle mother is out $3,700 all because of a rental scam.
She told FOX 13 News that the person who scammed her was offering a condo for rent in Belltown . In actuality, it was listed for sale by a legitimate real estate company.By the time the woman found out, it was too late."It was never his to rent," said Allison Simon. "It's for sale by the real estate company Windmere."FOX 13 checked, and the listed property Allison was interested in is in fact listed for sale.
"I pity this man," she said. "For an individual to sit down and think about how they can con or rob someone just makes me upset."She said the apartment was supposed to be for her disabled son, but now she's having to start the search all over again.
