Unfortunately application fees are very real. I got kicked out on my 18th birthday. I had $2600 saved trying to prepare for what I knew was going to happen. I only made $17k a year, and I kept applying to places while living in my car. I ended spending $450 on application fees before I eventually got accepted, but I was now $200 short on bills because of the money I had to waste on application fees. The new landlord was fortunately understanding and waved $200 on my first months rent. But man, I feel like a decent portion of these rental companies income is just people feeding them application fees.
Literally 10 years ago when I was pregnant I had 6 weeks until my due date and I was trying to find a new apartment since my lease had run out I spent $800 and I'm just telling you 100% it should be illegal to charge a fee for somebody to apply for a home or an apartment if you can't afford to do business and do background checks on your own dime you don't deserve to be in business🎉❤ I ended up moving in with family😢 and I also called all those companies and it took up to 2 years to get $800 back from five different companies apartment complexes are the freaking devil.
That is disgusting to hear honestly. Applications fees should be illegal and if the reason they exist is so that people can’t spam the applications process it should be capped at like $5-$10 because $50 is a scam
Good on Tyler for emailing the victims to let them know what was going on. My respect for him has increased by a lot. Never change, Tyler. You are an awesome human being.
Exactly, even tho elderly can fall for this easily, anyone could and its been happening a lot, theres just a scam for everything, nowhere is actually safe
It seems most of the people on the applications he got were students around 18 so I guess they just don't realize you dont pay an "application fee" for rentals.
Shitttt easy $70k a year starting and usually by the end of that year ur making $100k I'm actually going to school for it... 28 week class can change ur life no joke
I always just assume that every creator is in character for every video they make. As far as I'm concerned their content gives 0 idea of what they are actually like in real life.
That was interesting and whoever that guy was using Tyler's email address needs to get hacked themselves and completely blocked from every social media platform
Put this on the main channel! People need to know! This isn’t a side topic this should be the main topic! People lose their entire livelihood to scams like this and this message needs to reach more people! Please Tyler.
I recently encountered a rental scam. There is a vacant house the scammer will send the “agent” to and show you around. The price seems great and the house looks great. Then the agent (actual scammer) will tell you the owner of the house is out of town, sick, or any excuse to tell you they can’t meet up or speak over the phone. They can text though. Then they will ask you to wire the deposit to them. You lose your money, you never get keys. You can’t prove anything because you don’t have a rental contract yet.
I know someone who they did something but had that person fill out paperwork of some kind. My stepbrother dad girlfriend was out of lots of money, and no one knew this was a scam. Until a few days later when they tried to get hold of the agent who took their info and money. The person run.
@@an-alechianeathery770 luckily I didn’t fall for it. I did get baited in and went to the house though. Now I keep seeing the same house in different ads and they all have a different owner. The fact that they were willing to take thousands from me and my 8 months pregnant girlfriend really infuriates me. I live in the Philippines and scams are so prevalent here. They always try to target me because of my white skin so I have learned to be extra cautious and not trust anyone when it comes to money. They assume I’m rich but I’m not.
What really pisses me off is that there is virtually no effective recourse most of the time. These scammers are often overseas like I suspect this guy of being and being international there is pretty much no way a average joe will have the resources to get enough evidence to get any sort of higher authority involved thus these crimes go largely unpunished. The next worst thing are the so called "scam hunters" that pretend to disrupt these scammers and their groups with kids party tricks as that again doesn't solve the core problem of failing to remove these scammers but they get massive support otherwise.
Scambaiter TH-camrs usually can't do anything effective to the scammer, but they do a good job of informing people about scams so less people fall victim. And usually in an entertaining way. It's fun seeing the scammers get messed with.
The main thing the scambaiters do is make entertaining content that people can be induced to watch that lays out exactly how these scams play out, how terrible these people are, and how people fall for them. I know people who've shown elderly relatives these videos. The really good ones really shine a light on how cruel the scammers can be to their elderly victims (and how manipulative they can be) for this reason.
This needs to be on your main channel as well as this one put it on both channels the more this guy gets exposed the more people can potentially be saved from getting scammed and there's a higher chance of him getting caught by law enforcement in his country.
Application fees to rent are quite normal. They could be a fee or 1st month's rent. Normally its money order. Some places can do debit card if the rental office has a computer and internet. But never a money transfer app like Zelle or Cash App or Pay Pal etc.
Oh man. Tyler is about to realize the insane success of reaction content. He only posted 28 minutes ago for me, but I bet this becomes one of his most viewed videos
And the Nigerian related scams heat up again. It is a terrible idea to open any email you don't recognize with images enabled due to pixel trackers and scammers using text in images to avoid scam filters. Man I hate the internet sometimes. I remember I used to get text messages claiming my Citi-Bank account has been locked due to fraudulent activity being detected. Considering I didn't have any bank accounts with Citi.
Anytime you receive an unknown email. Always hit the drop-down menu from the sender. It may say something like an email from Steve but when you hit the down arrow it’ll be some crazy long Gmail address. Never open this crap. If it’s a security issue, somebody will call you. If you don’t plan on getting a loan anytime soon, freeze your credit.
This video is one reason that I know many main videos include Tyler trolling. This scheme is nuts. Good to you for not letting it continue and getting to the bottom of it.
Damn Tyler, I wish you made more story time videos. You have a really enjoyable way to relate a story! The whole "You can use an account without verifying your e-mail adress" is such a big oversight from Jotform. It takes literally 4 lines of code to force a user to verify their email...
Lack of verification of email is a big problem. I have a bunch of accounts on legit sites that I never made, since the scammers didn't need to verify the email they used.
It's amazing how companies don't confirm email addresses and start shoveling peeps personal info on you. I get utility bills, shipping invoices, all sort of emails and they don't even provide a link to click "Hey, this isn't me, stop emailing me this info!"
A few years back I filed a patent, the patent office, this law firm I sold the patent to, they all wanted stuff faxed. First, I tried installing efax on Ubuntu and hooking up the USB cable to the cell phone. This actually worked in the past, the chips would do like 14.4 dialup and fax, it's showed up as a fax modem that efax fully supported. But I had an early 4G phone by then and fax support had been removed. I faxed some stuff from the grocery store but it was like $1 a page. So I signed up for some online fax thing for like $5 a month since I was definitely going to be faxing more than 5 pages, plus then I had a number if they wanted to fax me anything back. I kept getting invoices for past due bills! I actually contacted them to let them know the fax number was reassigned, and these bills were effectively not going anywhere. No dice, the system just kept sending them. I didn't really give a care, the service included like 1000 pages a month or something so having these invoices use like 5 or 10 pages was not a big deal. They just showed up on the web site so it's not like they were wasting paper like a real fax would have.
People are so ridiculous. An application fee can be required but having seen people being scammed Zelle and venmo are a very common request by scammers!
Application fees and security fees for background checks/ credit checks are required for a lot of legitimate businesses; it keeps the problematic tenants from even bothering to apply. Especially now with criminal aliens stealing properties, land owners have to protect their investments
I'm so glad you made this video to inform people what to look out for with a scam like this! There is one thing I do have to correct you on though. Application fees are normal depending on the apartment complex. Usually they are $50 and I think they claim (because for all I know they use it for their coffee addiction) that it's to cover a background check or something like that.
99% of websites you sign up for sell your email. If you have an Amazon account or a dominoes account or an Indeed account, all these very popular, very reputable buisnesses can sell your email, and they don't always truly know who they are selling it to. Sure, it could be another reputable buisness, sure it could be a legitimate advertiser, but it could also be a person pretending to be someone or something else in order to buy your email and use it for scamming. Everyone has a 1 in a million chance to have their email chosen to be used in a scam and Tyler just got "lucky"
@@carolynvogan5217 In this instance, the email details are not sold. The person using the email for the form website does not have access to the email password. The email login details were not verified on the form website, and the person could not regain control of the form website details because they did not have access to the email to recover it.
I've had the same email for a long time and it has been sold many times over by now for sure, but also it and some passwords have been in data breaches before. So it's very likely than any email account of any significant age is easily found out by these scammers
It seems his face has hit the floor for views too many times. I love going after scammers. I waste their time like they waste ours. I only get scam calls once a day now. 😂 Thanks for the upload, pal. 😊
If you ever receive unsolicited messages of any kind that draw you in to share personal information...beware. You didn't ask them to contact you so just be skeptical.
Application Fees are 100% real, that's just their wording for the cost to do a background check typically. But also...it's so they can sip every cent from you.
This reminds of the time i worked as tech support at cnx att. I remember an indian man pretending to be a girl named Marjorie so that he can claim that girl's insurance. Whats funny is he doubled down as a woman despite his voice is clearly that of a mans. When we called the real Marjorie she was genuinely shocked to know that a man was impersonating her. Scammers these days are wild
So many companies use Zelle now it's starting to get difficult to tell what is a scam or not. Travelers Insurance uses it because some how they loose every check in the mail. Had to use it on the rental application fee to pay the property management company not to mention the landlord each month. Why on earth in 2024 there is zero fees to use Zelle but a wire transfer can cost $15 or more!?
Sometimes hackers can get into your mail and forward your reset links and one time passcodes. Make sure your email is secure and there is no forwarding setup.
Also don't open files sent to you in email or text messages. They usually contain viruses or other malware. They just tried to send me a pdf with the text "order sent reciept enclosed". No company or anything. Just a random number it came from.
During my years working in a prison, I learned that some people can convince others of almost anything. I've seen inmates duping staff and getting them to do things that would get them fired or imprisoned. Very sad.
Coming from someone who rents fairly frequently just do the fact of constantly moving every four years will say application fee is normal, but I’ve never trust like Facebook or like craigslist for a rental property. What I do, if I’m looking at those as I have to physically meet someone at the property first before I fill on application, if I’m planning a place that’s away from me because I’m moving to that area I use Zillow or realtor try to save yourself guys
I like when scammers act like they are the most intelligent people ever and the people they try to scam are dumber then dirt. Then they get pissed when you waste thier time. 😂😂😂😂
So Tyler can barely work a toaster, but legit figured out and dismantled a scamming pos from Nigeria. Way to go Tyler!

Sometimes hackers can get into your mail and forward your reset links and one time passcodes. Make sure your email is secure and there is no forwarding setup.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the ending was amazing
application fees are normal where I'm at but they are generally payed directly to the office
I came across an application years ago to rent a property I saw online. Noped out of it when it asked for an SSN and dodged a bullet that day.

Also don't open files sent to you in email or text messages. They usually contain viruses or other malware. They just tried to send me a pdf with the text "order sent reciept enclosed".
No company or anything. Just a random number it came from.
So that is one of those Nigerian princes!!!! 😂
During my years working in a prison, I learned that some people can convince others of almost anything. I've seen inmates duping staff and getting them to do things that would get them fired or imprisoned. Very sad.
Coming from someone who rents fairly frequently just do the fact of constantly moving every four years will say application fee is normal, but I’ve never trust like Facebook or like craigslist for a rental property. What I do, if I’m looking at those as I have to physically meet someone at the property first before I fill on application, if I’m planning a place that’s away from me because I’m moving to that area I use Zillow or realtor try to save yourself guys
I like when scammers act like they are the most intelligent people ever and the people they try to scam are dumber then dirt. Then they get pissed when you waste thier time. 😂😂😂😂

An application fee is 100% normal. But definitely check out the company you're working with.
