Searching for an affordable house in SoCal, she fell for a scam sweeping social media GRACE TOOHEY
P
LOS ANGELES TIMES
am Yeager thought she had found her perfect next rental in a cute bungalow near downtown Fullerton. It seemed like a no-brainer: It was priced slightly below the region’s average for a two-bedroom home, would allow her to live closer to her son and was available right as her current lease was expiring. But it turned out to be one big scam, costing her thousands of dollars to online fraudsters. “It’s ridiculous,” Yeager, 53, said. “There has to be some sort of accountability.” But experts say it’s a scenario that is becoming more common and difficult to police. In California, an incredibly tight housing market and high rents are fueling a new generation of real estate scams that take advantage of people desperate to find an affordable place to live. Officials say the scammers place fake listings on social media and other online marketplaces, sometimes using artificial intelligence to make the content appear legitimate. Often, they simply take existing listings and repost them, collecting as much money as they can before victims learn they were never in touch with a legitimate landlord. And as more people are turning to social media to find rentals and homes for sale, police say it’s created a ripe environment for scammers, given many platforms’ limited regulation and oversight. The fake ads often offer what appear to be unbeatable deals – capitalizing on people’s desperation. “Especially in this housing market, it gets competitive and people feel pressure to act
quickly,” said Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Lizbeth Gwisdalla, who said the department regularly investigates these types of online rental scams. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.” Real estate professionals across the state have seen cybercrimes like these increasing, said Chris Duff, president of Greater Los Angeles Realtors Assn. and co-owner of Beach Real Estate Group. “This is not something new, it’s just rising,” Duff said. “It’s getting worse every year.” Just last week, the Placentia Police Department warned of a “sharp rise in rental property scams on social media platforms” and urged residents across the region to be extra cautious before sending anyone money, especially without first touring a property. Once such scams occur, it’s extremely challenging to hold someone accountable, Placentia Police Department Sgt. Frank Garza said, as many perpetrators only communicate through burner social media accounts or ask for money through difficult-to-trace platforms. Some are even operating from outside the country. “It’s kind of a trend we’re seeing in Orange County,” Garza said of the real estate scams. “These people, they’re good at what they do.” The Zillow post that advertised the Fullerton home was only up for a day, but in that time, it attracted the attention of Yeager – and several other interested renters. One of them tracked down Laura Spencer, a real estate agent who had helped with the home’s sale just eight months prior. “I said, ‘I think this is a scam,’” Spencer recalled, remembering

how her client had planned to move into the home herself. Still, she checked in with the owner, who confirmed the Realtor’s suspicions. “Whatever this is, this house is not for rent,” Spencer told the interested renter. But Spencer never spoke with Yeager, who had already expressed her interest for the place though Zillow. In a statement, Zillow said the company works to “provide a safe online platform with accurate information,” taking steps to prevent fraudulent listings from being posted and quickly removing any that make it past the company’s screening process. Still, a company spokesperson urged prospective renters and buyers to beware of possible red flags that might signal a scam. While Yeager said she noticed the listing was quickly pulled from Zillow, she just assumed someone had snagged the rental before her. But later that day, she got a text referencing the property: “Still interested?” See Scam, Page 12

Hazards that compromise senior safety at home
H STATEPOINT
Locking in your mortgage rate can protect your budget from unexpected rate increases before closing.
You should consider a rate lock-in when securing your home loan
W
STATEPOINT
hen it comes to home loans, interest rates matter – a lot. Differences as small as one-quarter of a percentage point can save you thousands of dollars over the life of a home loan. One thing to keep in mind as you move through the mortgage process is that your interest rate isn’t guaranteed until it’s locked in. A rate lock can help you stay on budget and protect you from rising rates before closing. What is a rate lock and why is it important? A rate lock is an agreement between you and your lender. It guarantees that the interest rate you are offered won’t change for a set amount of time – even if rates go up before you close. A rate lock means you don’t have to worry about the ups and downs of the market while you wait for your loan to close. Knowing your interest rate ahead of time can also help you set a monthly budget. Without a rate lock, rising rates could push your payment higher, which could make your new home harder to afford.
When should you consider locking your rate? The right time to lock in your rate depends on the current market, how close you are to closing and how comfortable you are with risk. If rates are lower and you’re happy with your loan type and monthly payment, it may be smart to lock it in. Your lender is your best guide. They can help you decide when to lock your rate and how long to keep it locked. What you should know before locking your rate. Rate locks are only good for a set period. Standard locks are offered for 30, 45, 60 or 90 days. You’ll need to close your loan before the lock expires or you might lose the rate. Some lenders may charge a small fee for rate locks, while others may include it under covered costs. Usually, a longer lock period will have a higher fee. Ask your lender if there’s a cost and whether it’s refundable. If interest rates drop after you’ve locked, you usually stay locked in at the higher rate. Some lenders may offer a “float-down” option, which lets you take advantage of a lower rate if one becomes
available. Terms and availability of float-down options vary, so ask your lender what they offer. Rate locks do offer some flexibility. If you find a more attractive rate from a different lender, you are not obligated to keep your rate lock. If you choose to work with a different lender, any rate lock fees paid should be reimbursed. Always get your rate lock agreement in writing. It should clearly state the interest rate, the type of loan, the length of the lock and any associated fees. To see how your mortgage rate can impact the amount of your monthly payments, use Freddie Mac’s Fixed-Rate Mortgage Calculator. Additional Freddie Mac resources for homebuyers can be found at https://myhome.freddie mac.com/buying. A rate lock can be a smart move, giving you more control, stability and peace of mind during what can be a stressful time. Just be sure to talk to your lender early in the process to learn your options. A little preparation can go a long way toward easing your homeownership journey.

omes are supposed to be sanctuaries where people can be comfortable and live independently. However, houses that are completely suitable for younger populations often harbor hidden threats that can compromise senior safety. At Heart Home Care notes aging in place remains a top priority for more than 90 percent of older Americans, but only 10 percent of modern homes feature the necessary modifications to safely support aging residents. Falls pose a significant threat to seniors. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults age 65 and older. More than 14 million seniors experience a fall each year. The Hospital for Special Surgery notes that around 60 percent of these incidents happen right in the home. Knowledge of the potential hazards lurking at home may help seniors identify the areas where they need to be especially cautious.
Inadequate lighting can be a hazard to seniors, many of whom experience diminished vision. Dimly lit staircases, bedrooms and dark hallways can impair spatial awareness. Without enough light, navigating the changes in flooring or obstacles can become a challenge.
Bathroom surfaces Bathrooms are notorious for posing an injury risk because of slippery surfaces. Wet tile and pooled water can be a recipe for hazardous conditions. These conditions are made even worse in spaces that are not equipped with non-skid mats or anchored grab bars.
Tripping hazards Many things can cause seniors to trip and fall. Loose area rugs, exposed electrical cords, cluttered hallways, and too much furniture can make it difficult to safely navigate a space.
Cooking hazards The National Council on Aging says adults over 65 are 3.5 times more likely to die in residential fires than the general population. Cooking accidents and loose clothing or items catching fire near stovetops are a fire hazard. Seniors also may feel the cold more, and rely on space heaters or other less safe heating units to stay warm, which in turn increases the risk of a fire at home. Many experts recommend a safety overhaul to secure a home for aging residents. Clearing all floor obstructions, securing loose carpets, installing bright lights, and anchoring heavy furniture are some steps that can be taken to keep a home a haven for older adults rather than a hazard.

Plan ahead to save on energy bills this winter
W BPT
your furnace running more efficiently. A dirty filter can slow air flow, making your furnace work harder. Frequent air filter swaps also help improve the air quality in your home.
orried about rising energy costs as you look ahead to the colder months? You’re not alone. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (68%) are already struggling with higher utility bills, which show no signs of going down. With autumn just around the corner, it’s natural to start thinking about ways to keep heating bills from getting out of control. Planning ahead can also give you time to take advantage of simple, low-cost methods to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Use your thermostat smartly Rather than constantly bumping your thermostat up and down, setting it at a slightly lower, constant temperature can help keep your furnace from overworking. Just a degree or two lower can make an impact in overall energy savings during the winter, and programming your thermostat means you can set it and forget it. For example, you could set it to 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, lowering it to 60-65 degrees at night or when you’re not home. If you have an older thermostat or find that heating your home is uneven, upgrading to a newer thermostat or one of the latest smart thermostats can make a big difference in energy efficiency and more consistent heating.
Try a home energy audit You could pay for a professional energy audit, but many local utility companies offer free, low-cost or subsidized home energy audits. This process can help you discover where you could make improvements that can impact your heating costs. Typical energy audits evaluate your home for things like air leaks around windows and doors, your home’s insulation, the efficiency of your HVAC system and more. Some programs even offer free products including LED light bulbs. If your local company doesn’t offer this service, you can perform your own energy audit, following advice from organizations like the National Association of Home Builders.
Quick steps to improve energy efficiency Energy audits are one helpful step toward identifying areas of your home that need improvement, so that’s a good place to start. Here are a few simple, lowcost DIY tasks which address many common issues found in energy audits: • Caulking and weather strip-
Check with your local utility company BRANDPOINT
Planning ahead for winter can help homeowners reduce energy use, lower utility bills and keep their homes comfortable when temperatures drop. ping for windows or doors can help prevent heat loss, saving anywhere from 5-10% on energy costs over the winter. You may already know from previous winters what areas of your home are harder to keep warm, so take a look at the windows and doors – both inside and outside the home – to find areas where extra caulking or new weather stripping might be needed. • Look for obstructions around your home to ensure heat vents, air registers or radiators are not blocked by furniture, and are clear of dust and debris.
• Replace all your lighting with more efficient Energy Star certified LED bulbs. • Consider using blackout curtains with thermal properties that are effective for retaining heat.
Take care of HVAC maintenance now Another advantage of planning ahead is that many utility companies and HVAC contractors get booked up far in advance, especially for fall furnace cleaning and tune-up appointments. By calling to schedule your appoint-
ment now, you’ll ensure your HVAC system is in great shape before you really need it. This can help prevent emergencies and costly repairs down the road. This is also the perfect time to make sure your furnace filter has been recently changed. Writing the date when you swap out the HVAC filter on the filter itself, as well as setting calendar reminders, can help you remember when this vital task needs to be performed next. Changing your HVAC filter at least as frequently as the manufacturer recommends helps keep
Ready to upgrade your home’s HVAC system for a more energy efficient unit? This can be a great way to reduce your costs over the long term. Before you buy, check with your local utility company as well as your state and municipal government to learn about potential rebates or tax credits that may be available to you. Many utility companies also offer cost management programs and energy efficiency programs to help customers navigate the financial impacts of higher utility bills, so it’s worth checking their website or calling to ask. By taking a few of these proactive practical steps now, you can help your home stay warmer and more affordable throughout the colder months of the year.

Scam From Page 3 She was, she said, and asked to set up a tour. The supposed landlord replied that the current tenants wouldn’t be leaving for a few more weeks, but she could see it once they moved out. In the meantime, they sent her a link to a Google Drive video of the home – which turned out to be a copy of a previous real estate agent’s tour that had been downloaded – and told her she could fill out an application with a $75 fee. In hindsight, Yeager said she had some initial qualms about the rental process, but the person with whom she was dealing reassured her at every point. She asked: Why was the listing taken down so quickly on Zillow? They had gotten too many inquiries. When can I see the property in person? Once the current occupants move out, and you’re welcome to drive by in the meantime. Why did you direct me to pay the application fee to someone I haven’t talked to? That’s my secretary. “Maybe I’m just being a worrywart and overthinking it,” Yeager recalled telling herself. “It’s a great house. ... It checked all the boxes.” But once her application was accepted, the supposed landlord told her that he needed a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent, $2,500 – slightly below the county average for a two-bed-

room – to take the house off the market. Yeager said she hesitated at this point because of the large sum he was requesting, but she set up a call with the man, something that assured her he was indeed real, and he said he could provide her with receipts for the deposit. She agreed to send the money via Zelle over several days, reminding herself that it was only a deposit and could be refunded. That turned out to be one of many broken promises. Once the scammers got her deposit, Yeager said they doubled down with another request: the first month’s rent and that she sign a lease. It all became too much. It had only been a few days since she saw the listing, and she still hadn’t stepped inside the house. She asked for her refund. “All of a sudden the phone call dropped,” Yeager said. She spent the next few hours calling every number and email she had from the exchange but got radio silence. “It’s total crap,” Yeager said. She’s now out $2,575 – money she counted on to use in her move or needs to pay her current rent if she doesn’t find a new place – and she worries she’ll never get it back. She’s picked up extra hours at work to try to make up the cash, but she is also extremely anxious about continuing her rental search. While she wishes she didn’t have this story to tell, Yeager decided to share it to “make sure this kind of thing doesn’t keep victimizing others.” Raising awareness is really
the only way to respond to these increasingly common scams, many in the industry say. Once money is sent, “there’s just nothing I can do to help them,” Spencer said, recalling a time something similar happened to one of her clients. “It’s just heartbreaking.” “Do not give your money out until you’ve met the agent, met the owner, really make sure it’s legitimate,” Spencer said. “It’s why (Realtors) are so valuable.” Though law enforcement officials say there are ways to track down these types of online scammers – Gwisdalla, the Orange County sheriff’s sergeant, was adamant it can be done – it’s a demanding process for detectives that typically involves lengthy search warrants and digging through massive data dumps, if the accounts involved can be identified and tracked. “They’re very difficult,” Garza, with the Placentia Police Department, said of such cases. The small department had two such scams – from rentals posted on Facebook and TikTok – reported to it in the last year, but he estimated these crimes are likely underreported. Some people are embarrassed or they feel there’s nothing that can be done, he said. Last year, the FBI received more than 12,000 real estate fraud complaints – a three-year high – to its Internet Crime Complaint Center, according to its latest report on cybercrime. The report cited the rise of AI, which it said “allows criminal actors to potentially conduct successful fraud schemes against individuals, businesses, and financial

institutions.” In recent weeks there have been several reports of these scams across the state. In the Bay Area, a homeowner last month reported prospective renters stopping by his house – which he lived in and didn’t plan for rent – after it had apparently been used online to dupe people, according to a report from ABC7 News. In the San Diego area, a family found out someone had reposted photos from their actual rental listing and was setting up tours in exchange for cash, according to a CBS 8 News report. When The Times knocked on the door of the home Yeager had hoped to rent – days after Yeager had been told the tenants would be moving out – a dog immediately barked. After a few minutes, a woman in pajamas opened the door and quickly confirmed that she very much still lived there, was the true owner of the home and had no intention of renting it out. “I’m not leaving anytime soon,” she said. She had heard someone recently posted a rental listing of her home, but her Realtor told her it was taken down quickly. She had no idea anyone had fallen for the listing, much less lost thousands trying to rent it. “I definitely feel bad for her,” the woman said. “But it doesn’t really surprise me to tell you the truth. ... Lot of scams going on.”

much of the canopy can expose branches and bark to excessive sunlight, increasing stress on the tree. Focus on trimming broken, diseased or crossing branches, and leave major pruning to cooler seasons unless safety is a concern. Finally, know when a project is better left to a pro. Trees located near homes, power lines or other structures can pose significant safety risks, especially if large limbs need to be removed. A certified arborist can assess a tree’s health, identify structural concerns and recommend whether pruning, treatment or removal is the safest option. Healthy trees provide shade, beauty and value to your home, but they require seasonal care to stay that way. Taking a little time this summer to inspect your trees can help prevent costly repairs, reduce storm-related damage and keep your landscape healthy for years to come.
