Task Scam: Posting Rentals for a Stranger

A reddit report about a rental scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Source: reddit | Scam Type: Rental | Amount Lost: Amount not specified | Date: April 04, 2026
I DM'd some guy off his Reddit post. He was asking for people to post his rental property on different sites for him and to keep up with any people interested in the properties. I've only been texting him for a couple of days. He has been sending me pictures of his properties and I have been uploading them to different sites for him, mainly Facebook Marketplace. I'm waiting for him to ask for money or something, but he hasn't asked for anything yet. All he asks is how I wanted to get paid. Any advice?
