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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 RUclipsrs 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.
As others have pointed out scam hunters actually combat the problem in a few different ways, through awareness to potential victims with entertaining attention grabbing videos, through disrupting the scammers operations and wasting their time impacting their bottom dollar, and in the cases of some of the more dedicated like jim brown and kitboga actually gathering enough evidence to get local authority's involved and bank accounts frozen. TLDR they are doing much more than you or I.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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...
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.
Thanks for posting this, FB is rife with scammers in the rental section. Usually a small house for an unusually small amount, I had one tell me that I could go look around outside but I couldn't go inside or in the yard and he was out of town so to just venmo him 🤨
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
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
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.
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.
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!?
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
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.
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.
So I recently moved after being in the same house for 20 years. I found much more scam ads in local social media listings than I did legitimate ones. I was lucky that the people clearly weren't from around here and I have lived here my whole life and it is a very small town so I was able to spot many right off the bat because they would use random pics from what I guess were old actual listing. The pics from what was supposed to be the outside of the house didn't match the pics that were supposed to be inside or the address listed was not where the house from the outside pics was located. Some were pics or addresses of houses that I knew who the actual owner was. They all wanted you to send an "application fee" from $35 to $50 per person on the lease and you had to cash app it prior to being allowed to seeing the place and a couple even wanted the 1st and last months rent thru cash app and they would leave the key under the mat. So many DO fall for these so thank you for this video
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.
Was a landlord and got accused of scamming for background check fees often. I am sure this guy is a scam artist.. It just sucks that its become such a thing that landlords and tenants are now so cautious about it. Every time I rejected an applicant I had 50% chance of being called a scammer lol
I'm dealing with email bombarding right now. They take your email and sign it up for thousands of accounts so you get hit with a ton of emails in a short about of time in order to hide confirmation emails. They used someone's stolen credit card to buy an iphone using your email then they cancel the order a few days later for a refund and get it on giftcards or something like that to cover their tracks. Amazon & apple are usually the two they use for that.
If it makes people feel better, someone in Nigeria will eat for a month (?) I often get mails registering accounts like that as well and I do exactly that, I go to the site without using any referral link, I log in even using the lost password option and then randomize the password, change the security questions and everything that can be used to restore it. Deleting the account sometimes doesn't work because they can recreate it. But note that sometimes sites just send you the confirmation email without anyone registering your account, those sites actually create the accounts with data harvested from mailing lists, databases, etc, and then send the mails so that you click on the confirmation and they proceed to create it so you need to be aware whether the site is known for using those tactics or not. Talking as a software developer with over 20 years behind I kind of know when it's a human trying to scam (or maybe not even scam, just creating a new account in Valve or Crunchyroll or somewhere to enjoy 30-day free benefits or evade a ban) or when they are just filling their user list.

@@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
Smart man lmao, you were a diesel mechanic so I had no doubt you’d a genius. Very technical job
Good job Tyler, and thank you for showing the interesting posts, I now need to go and bleach my eyes
Greatway to find the second channel, it finally came up feed, subbed 👍
Did it have anything to do with your Toast t-shirt???😂😂😂
Story time with Tyler needs to be a thing.
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.
Tylertube = Best investigator on Earth🙌🙌
Wranglerstar got hacked, Tylertube got involved in a scam. This be crazy
That was hilarious thank you I laughed so hard when I watched him 😂
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.
Epic video i hope u aren’t shy to branch out like this But that rizz at the end might’ve had me crushin 🤣🤣👉😌👈
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.
Keep up the good work man I’m young myself videos like this can help so many people👍👍
Every apartment has an application fee. It's really common, but it's always a cashiers check in my experience.
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!?
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
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.
I can’t unsee that.
Application fees are definitely a thing sadly but usually it’s through a verified company site or in-person with a check and not a jotform.
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.
So I recently moved after being in the same house for 20 years. I found much more scam ads in local social media listings than I did legitimate ones. I was lucky that the people clearly weren't from around here and I have lived here my whole life and it is a very small town so I was able to spot many right off the bat because they would use random pics from what I guess were old actual listing. The pics from what was supposed to be the outside of the house didn't match the pics that were supposed to be inside or the address listed was not where the house from the outside pics was located. Some were pics or addresses of houses that I knew who the actual owner was. They all wanted you to send an "application fee" from $35 to $50 per person on the lease and you had to cash app it prior to being allowed to seeing the place and a couple even wanted the 1st and last months rent thru cash app and they would leave the key under the mat. So many DO fall for these so thank you for this video
This is a great point to completely ban application fees. Just takes more money from people who are already struggling.
Application fees are pretty common a good way of avoiding the scams is always look at the place first along with that pay via money order in person
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.
Was a landlord and got accused of scamming for background check fees often. I am sure this guy is a scam artist.. It just sucks that its become such a thing that landlords and tenants are now so cautious about it. Every time I rejected an applicant I had 50% chance of being called a scammer lol
I'm dealing with email bombarding right now. They take your email and sign it up for thousands of accounts so you get hit with a ton of emails in a short about of time in order to hide confirmation emails. They used someone's stolen credit card to buy an iphone using your email then they cancel the order a few days later for a refund and get it on giftcards or something like that to cover their tracks. Amazon & apple are usually the two they use for that.
Good looking out tyler
Maybe ur first story time with us, but hell i enjoyed it this could be an idea to run with😊
If it makes people feel better, someone in Nigeria will eat for a month (?) I often get mails registering accounts like that as well and I do exactly that, I go to the site without using any referral link, I log in even using the lost password option and then randomize the password, change the security questions and everything that can be used to restore it. Deleting the account sometimes doesn't work because they can recreate it. But note that sometimes sites just send you the confirmation email without anyone registering your account, those sites actually create the accounts with data harvested from mailing lists, databases, etc, and then send the mails so that you click on the confirmation and they proceed to create it so you need to be aware whether the site is known for using those tactics or not. Talking as a software developer with over 20 years behind I kind of know when it's a human trying to scam (or maybe not even scam, just creating a new account in Valve or Crunchyroll or somewhere to enjoy 30-day free benefits or evade a ban) or when they are just filling their user list.
application fees are normal where I'm at but they are generally payed directly to the office
Yes, application fees are actually normal. Never not had to pay one.
I've always met the landlord before paying fee though.
Never not is a double negative. You could have just said always.
"Never not" works in this case.
@@leviwhite3381 What about in a bag?
Application fees are 100% the norm but not through Zelle.
I was sitting here saying "reset password" and was glad when you finally said it. That's the first thing I would have done.
“He posts pure cringe” video starts and I start DYING😂😂😭. You just moved up a notch in my book🫱🏻🫲🏾
Excellent detective work
A rental application fee is actually very normal, but needs to be done correctly....
Ahhhhhhhhh brooooooo wtf😂😂😂 ty so much for sharing this with us you made my morning
Can’t we get a spin off of story time with Tyler to Tyler the bounty hunter. You seem to have a certain set of skills.. and I’m here for it!
