Strangers started showing up at a woman's house in the Hayward hills asking for a tour. The problem: the home isn't for rent.
HAYWARD -- The owner of a Hayward Hills house put up a fraud-alert sign on her front door after potential renters showed up at her home asking for a tour. The problem: the home isn't for rent.
"I had somebody show up at my door and ask me about my house that was for rent and I was like 'my house isn't for rent' and she showed me a listing on her phone and I saw the pictures. I didn't really pay attention to the address. I just saw the pictures and the pictures were from the neighbor's house that had just recently sold across the street," said homeowner Kirstin Walker.
Walker said that, 10 minutes after the first person rang her doorbell, another showed up asking to check out the home. She said the deposit was advertised as $4,800. "My concern was, OK is somebody going to show up at my door and say I have a rental agreement and I paid a deposit and now I want in?" Walker said."It was a little concerning for me about our safety.
