By Tom Branch, on October 3rd, 2011  Last night I met with some people at a vacant home in Plano. They had responded to a Craigslist advertisement for a rental home. They had met with the “owner” at the property and put down a deposit to hold it. They were supposed to meet with the owner at a later date to sign the lease. The problem is the home is not for lease and the “owner” is a scammer.
We did a story with CW33 last year (Online Rental Scam Targets Real Estate Listings) on a similar type of scam being run on consumers. Since most people are wary enough not to wire money, so it appears the scammers have grown bolder and have found a new way to perpetrate the fraud. They actually meet their victims in person.
The scammer gains access to the property by obtaining the combination lockbox code for the property, creates an online advertisement, and goes about collecting applications and rental deposits. Once they “approve” the tenant, they set up a meeting to collect the deposit. In this case, the scammer gave the victim access to the property so they could begin moving in their things early. They knew something was wrong when another victim arrived at the home to meet with the “owner” and turn over a rental deposit.
If the deal sounds too good to be true, it usually is. When in doubt, contact a local real estate professional. Not only will you have professional representation, but the fee is usually paid by the landlord.

If you’ve driven along McDermott Road, west of US75, you may have noticed that Allen’s Fire Station Number 5 is just about completed. Station 5 is the fourth substation and was approved by the city’s voters in the 2007 Capital Improvement Bond Election. Construction began in 2010.
A highlight of the building will be reclaimed fire ladders twisted into a sculpture for the public and firefighters to enjoy. The ladders are in the shape of a flame by Artist Christopher Fennell.
On his website Fennell says, “The materials I use have been cast out by society, for example: demolished barns, broken bicycles and downed trees. I transform these objects into dynamic pieces and connect them into recognizable shapes of waves, tornados and pillars of fire.”
The station is expected to open in the Fall of 2011.
