Rental scams in #Atlanta are on the rise as fake realtors steal licensed agents’ identities to sell fraudulent luxury apartment listings & take deposits from unsuspecting renters.

A network of social media scammers is posing as licensed Atlanta real estate agents — stealing the identities, videos, and likenesses of licensed realtors to advertise fake luxury apartments and townhomes, collect upfront deposits, and then disappear.

In this episode of #TSRInvestigates, victims say they were promised luxury apartments, quick approvals, and same-day keys—only to allegedly lose money after sending deposits through Zelle.

Host @jus2ice speaks with licensed real estate broker Curtis Russell of GreatHomesATL to explain how renters can protect themselves. #Roommates, should social media platforms be doing more to stop fake rental listings?
