FTC Uncovers Fraud Using Fake Rental Properties

The Federal Trade Commission has obtained a court order against Danny Pierce and Andrew Lloyd for orchestrating a scheme that used fake rental property ads through Craigslist and deceptive promises of “free” credit reports. Instead, the defendants signed customers up for a costly credit monitoring service for about $30 a month. Many people did not realize they were enrolled until they noticed unexpected charges on their bank or credit card statements, sometimes after several billing cycles.
