Florida Woman Stealing From Real Estate Agents While Posing as Buyers

Florida-realestate-thievesIf you are selling homes in Seminole County, Florida, keep an eye out for these two women. They are pulling a scam by claiming to be homebuyers but instead are stealing credit cards from the wallets of the real estate office employees.

And if this scam is being committed in one place and highlighted in the media, there is a good chance it could be happening in your neck of the woods. So find a safe place for those pocketbooks. I know the market is slow and every potential sale should get the royal treatment, but the scam artist know how hungry you are. Don’t let them take advantage of you.

Investigators said Denise Fuller and Winshenia Lamarr and possibly a third person are meeting with real estate employees in Central Florida and then taking credit cards from their wallets.

“Police say the suspects pretended to be potential house buyers at KB Homes in Sanford,” Local 6’s Charnel Wright said. “They distracted the employees. When Realtors showed them a home, a third person went in and stole one credit card from each employee’s purse.”

Local 6 showed video of the women at a Target store in Seminole County purchasing items with stolen credit cards. Authorities were quickly able to identify the woman suspected of stealing the credit cards. via  WKMG.
