Description
The scammer, Andrew Johnson, has listings of tiny houses for sale for under $25,000. He uses other builders' and legit tiny house company's photos to lure in buyers on his facebook page. I was suspicious because he has no website, no phone number and no complete photos of these tiny homes in his supposed workshop. Andrew Johnson pushes hard to make a sale, always claiming that many buyers want the home you are interested in, and that if you'll pay a $500 deposit, he will deliver it to you, at no extra charge! I was looking at a tiny home that sleeps 2, and I live in Idaho. This guy, Andrew, showed me photos and said he could deliver the nice home he showed me, a 3 bedroom not so tiny home, free of charge, if I just pay $500 down. He kept saying that there is no risk, because if I didn't like it, the money would be refunded! I did a reverse image search, and found that the home he was showing me and quoted me $26,000 on, was actually over $154,900. He had stolen the images. This was a scam and he tried to pressure me into just paying quickly. Thankfully I got wise.
