Description
I was looking at a rental property on Redfin and wanted further information. I sent a message through the Redfin app asking for someone to contact me with additional information. Someone named Adam sends me a text message stating that before I can get further information I would have to fill out a pre-screening application on the "Locayt" App before I could go any further. I filled out the application paid the $49.00 with my credit card and waited 8 days with no response. Figured out I had been scammed when I pulled the property tax records and was able to contact the REAL property manager.
