Wanted Rental Scammer in Maryland: Paul Barnes

Filed under: Housing Scams — Tags: — admin @ 7:46 pm 286 views

Paul Barnes called a Dover, DE man about a house for sale in Smyrna, DE.  Barnes claimed to be a real estate investor who wanted to buy the property and turn it into a rental.  The man who owned the property was out of town, but told Barnes to go ahead and look at the property.  Barnes looked at the property, and took it one step forward by renting it out.  Fake documents provided by Barnes claimed JLR Group owned the house.   He made off with $5,400 in the transaction.
