A woman called police and said she was scammed out of $1,060. She said she found a rental listing on Facebook Marketplace for a place on Diamond Street. The woman messaged the profile asking if the property was still available for rent. She exchanged messages with the person, trying to work out the details of the lease agreement and move in dates. The man sent the woman a picture of his New York driver's license as well as a picture of him at work. She ended up paying the man three separate times using her Chime bank account for a total amount of $1,060, for a deposit and HOA fees. She finally knew she was scammed when the property manager for the location on Diamond Street told her that someone else was scheduled to move in. It is apparent that the New York license was fake, as the number listed came back to someone else. The woman has not received a message from the man since she accused the account as being fake. She reported the account on Facebook. The woman is working with the property manager on finding a new place to stay.
