That $2 list of foreclosed homes could cost you your identity. Be very careful with your private information online.
The latest scam to hit craigslist and inboxes across America could cost you your identity. The scammer operates under the name Kyle Waitley and he promises you a list of very cheap foreclosed homes for a mere $2 and a credit check.
First Contact
Below is a sample email Kyle Waitley sends out to unsuspecting victims. It’s possible you may have received a different, yet similar email, but the overall gist is the same. The main point of the email is to get you interested in fixing your credit and finding a new home for cheap.
Subject: who wants to go Rent 2 Own home shopping with me this weekend?
Hello,
Friday is here and I want to know what kind of home you’re interested in…
- ranch
- 2 story

All you need to do is pay $2 bucks (THATS IT!) to access the list and
start shopping for your new home below…-URL REMOVED-
It’s only $2!!!
Look if you’re not willing to invest $2 bucks into your future then
I can’t help you… seriouslyWhat I do is real… I give you the option of picking out your very
own home and having us buy it and RE-SELL it to you on a Rent to OwnAnd the only way to pick out these homes is from the National Forclosure

and the private lenders we use won’t allow it)The listing service I personally use (and recommend) is below…

After you pick out a few properties that you want more information about

Now start this weekend off right and get on over to…
-URL REMOVED-
Email me back,
Kyle Waitleyps – I have 3 early showings today so I may not be able to get back to you
until a little later
Clicking through on one of the many URLs ultimately leads you to a site that wants to run a credit check on you to make sure you qualify to use the list of homes Kyle offers. The credit check is supposedly free, but they need to charge your credit card $1 for verification purposes.
Handing over your credit card and private information to these people is a bad idea. Aside from potential identity theft, there are a lot of consumers warning that multiple unauthorized charges are appearing on their credit card statements ranging from $2 to $35. The victims claim that having these charges reversed is proving to be quite difficult.
Experiences with Kyle Waitley and Credit Report America
The following statements are from others who have personally dealt with Kyle Waitley and Credit Report America.
Here is my experience with Kyle Waitley (an alias) and Credit Report America…
Credit Report America’s site states, “Your credit card WILL NOT be charged during the FREE trial period. However, a refundable ONE DOLLAR activation fee will be made because valid credit card information is required…”.
They did attempt to get me to sign up for other services such as credit card monitoring but I declined all of them.
Once I accepted the “free” offer, I checked my bank account and I was NOT charged $1… but there were TWO successive charges to my bank account, one for $2.95 and one for $29.95. I placed the order for my FREE credit report Sunday evening… there shouldn’t have been ANY charges on my credit card except for ONE $1 ping on my account. I should not have $32.90 on hold due to these people.
I called the company at (800) 712-7224 and the girl who answers the phone is trying to tell me that my card has not been charged and that the two charges are only pending. Right… funny they don’t tell you THAT in their disclosures, do they? I told her what she was failing to understand is $32.90 is a hell of a lot more than the $1 that they’re hawking on their site. I canceled my account and called back and spoke with ‘supervisor on staff’ Steve who stated he was shocked and that he would find out why that happened. I’m still waiting to see if these charges clear or if they come through on my account.
I’m one of those Americans who is trying to clean up my credit and own a home… you know, the American Dream. Too bad that people like these have to turn it into the American nightmare. When I saw the charges on my account, I shot off an email to good old Kyle… guess what? I haven’t heard ANYTHING from him. Nope. Quiet as a church mouse! Yet prior to me ordering this credit report? I was getting 2-3 emails PER DAY from him.
An attempt to get in contact with Kyle:
I checked out an ad in CList for “rent to own your own home”, and automatically got sent to Kyle Waitley’s website. He outlined a 4-step method to become a home owner while “repairing bad credit” in the process. With each step’s email, he also sent an auto link to a credit score site, where you get a “free trial” for “only” a dollar, supposedly refundable. I emailed this guy FIVE times, saying I already know my credit score, i don’t need to join this club to obtain my credit score. He never answered any of my mail. This sent up a red flag to me, because to obtain a credit score, you have to use your ssn. The way he writes is unprofessional. No business-oriented person would speak this way. But I did NOT proceed with his pitch. Chalk it up to woman’s intuition.

Thanks, for your info on Kyle W. We were just about to register for his promotion(scam)…
just about to fall for this scam, thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for this info! I get e-mails from this guy all the time and I almost fell for it! Glad I did my research first.
Thanks!
Where to report email/internet scams like this one:
spam@uce.gov
I had a feeling this was to good to be true. Now a day you can’t TRUST NO ONE.!! that’s a shame that some people do that to other just because they know that some people can’t afford to get a home,if it’s not rent to own. I do THANK GOD THAT I DIDN’T SEND HIM THE PART FOR THE CREDIT REPORT. THOSE THINGS I DO ON MY OWN!!. To other please be careful.I called up the company and was told that this person KYLE WAITLEY HAS BEEN DOING THAT ALOT. AND THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT. anyway God Bless you and keep posting this scam programs. Have a Bless day. Ms Mari
unfortunatley i did fall for that scam. I tried to email him, it said no such address. then he charged me 35 bucks after the 2 bucks cause he didnt say how long before i had to cancel just said do nothing. well LIVE AND LEARN
i found out about this looser from the people at government auctions they told me to google him lucky for me he never contacted me. all i ever get is is stupid emails telling me how dumb i am for renting, so any one who finally ends up here hopefully you didn’t give him your social security number or the 1000.00 dollar deposit he wants the phone number he gave me is from dallas texas so don’t waste your time with this looser get back on track and deal with someone that is legit .
I’m really glad I found your site today, otherwise I wouldn’t have had an
‘OMG’ moment reading about “Kyle Waitley” and his scam! Thanks for writing and warning people! At first, I was very interested in getting info on local foreclosures, and I paid the $1. But red flags were being waved all over the place. The listings were terrible. There were only 3 homes within 150 miles of me listed as bank foreclosures, and I kept getting emails from Kyle saying “send me the addresses of the houses you like!” I wrote him mentioning I didn’t like any of them, and how about updating that list so I don’t have to go to Siberia to find a house? I emailed him 3 times, but never heard from him. I found out doing a search of my own, there were 127 foreclosures within a 5 mile radius of my home, so Kyle wasn’t very good at this if he could only find 3. So I knew something was wrong with his business, because he had no intention of buying foreclosures. Nothing was professionally done. So you have to wonder how he was making money? I would never give out my Social to him for the free credit check, but it never occurred to me that he might add additional charges to my bank card! He’s faster than David Copperfield, and seems to be working on the art of misdirection! You can’t trust anybody! I’m going back to check my bank statements and make sure he didn’t add a little more profit for himself. Thanks for the heads up, and thanks for your investigations!
It looks like Kyle Waitley may have moved to Ga, changed his name to Watley, and begun again.
If you know what he looks like, see who is pictured for Ledico Realty Services in Memphis TN run by Lynn Cassell.
KJC, Inc might be another possible business ‘KW’works out of.
I hope you all find the swindlers and press charges.
It’s very easy to run a corporation from one place and appear to do it rom other states with voip phone systems, mail services which give the appearance of street addresses wherever you’d like them to, and a computer. You can even hire a registered agent to coordinate it all. Check out “The Corporation Corporation.”
With an R/A in another state, the swindllers need not be served at all. By the time you realize their address is way off, they’ve been ‘served’ (ie warned) and dissolved, only to start right up again under a diferent name. Don’t let them get away with it.
If you gave them any personal info, they are probably utilizing that as well.
Always go to USA.gov and find the state the business is registered in and verify they have registered, at least.
The BBB isn’t helpful, imo, but if the grade is anything less than A plus, I’d steer cleer.
You can go to Peoplefinders.com and check for criminal records and bankruptcies, liens, and judgements. Aka’s are a free bonus.
I think he’s at it again,but not in the name of kyle waitley….but under the name ………ROBERT JAMES. SO BE AWARE THIS PERSON KEEPS SENDING ME THE SAME MATERIAL THAT THE KYLE WAITLEY WOULD SEND. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
He is actually still using that name! I got an email today from someone on behalf of Kyle Waitley (renttoownwithkyle@hotmail.com). I saw the ad on Craigslist and was curious so I went to the website and put in my e-mail address. Now, the reason why red flags went up for me from the very beginning is the fact that I know that it is illegal to sell Rent to Own homes in Texas. I was interested in this and after doing research found out that it had become illegal after people were being taken advantage of and ended up paying way more than the houses were worth, or never closing at all. So I decided to research the company and see what was said about it and then I came to this site! I am glad you have written this because too many people are getting scammed by this guy. There may be alternate ways of buying homes in Texas similar to rent to own and maybe people have really found ways to do rent to own but as far as I’ve heard, its illegal! So be very careful.
Glad I didn’t fall for his scam. Little disappointed though, want to buy another house.
I have found it is always best to stick with private lenders in you oun area. private lenders that i have used in the past tend to stick to lending within their driving distance of where they live.
if you have found your way here i would like to tell don’t give up, persistence will pay off in the long run and there are private investors that do lend lend out there money….just keep looking and keep asking.
This time he used his name as John Sensor and put his ad on CL here is california. Unfortunately, I fell for his scam and lost 212.00.
This guy or guys with their rent to own scams should be all put in jail!!!!!
He is still posting ads on CL Orange County, CA as Kyle Waitley. This guy is a SCAM!!! If you do take the first step, which is to enter your email at his first link, you will receive tons of spam emails from MLM bull****. So he obviously also sells your email info to MLM sites. There is also “BEWARE” posting on Org Cty CL about him.
Here is one of the Beware postings: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/apa/1498904860.html
Here is a recent ad from “Kyle” (12/7/09): http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/apa/1499875534.html
Don’t know why the Feds or local authorities have not caught up with him yet. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY!!! Total FRAUD and SCAM!!!!
Looks like he is in anchorage alaska as well! BEWARE!
Where does HE live? Is it impossible to find his real name? He must be operating out of an office someplace.
With VOIP phone and mail service you can be anywhere and look like you are anywhere else.
Is this a registered business anyplace?
Surely the government would be interested to go after this criminal. It’s doubtful he’s paying tax on his ill gotten gains.
I looked on Peoplefinders and there is NO listing for a Kyle Watley under “people in Business” but there’s a Kevin Watley listed approximately 15 times with 15 business that are different but most have to do with land, financeing, and homebuilding.
There’s no info otherwise. No state, no other people in business or affiliates.
That’s unusual. Most business’s listed have other business’s associated with them and a state listed as to where they are. Maybe he changed his name to Kevin, or is using the name Kevin.
renttoownhomesearch.com , Another of his sites!?

Kyle watley is Jeremy Blunt? Isn’t Jeremy Blunt an alias of Delbert Blount III? He was arrested in TN about a year ago, for financial scams and frauds.
I just read his ad in Jacksonville, FL on Craigslist & unfortunately gave my email…could have been much worse! Thank you!!!!
thanks for the information ad in Madison WI on craiglis, i almost fell for this scam i am glad I didn’t all that was given was my email, i have since reported it as spam, i am glad i came across this site. Thank you !!!!!!
He is now on the Boulder Craigslist
Jacksonville here- I’ve been getting these emails for months off a CL posting I looked at. They still pop up.
Has it occurred to anyone that “Kyle” might be a funnel for the govt auction site that he sends everyone to. Maybe stop chasing the myth and start getting to the root. that’s what I have begin working on. They have been aware that he sends them to the site for quite some time now, and yet have nothing on their website with disclaimers to protect themselves….
They phones me right off the bat when I thought about registering with them, and called every day. But now I am afraid to let them charge my card. Any thoughts?
WOW!! Here I am getting my hopes up…good thing I googled his name and found this site
Hes on the New Jersey Craigs list also…people like this S**K! Meanwhile, here we are with bad credit trying to improve ourselves and hes living like a king with with the peoples money who fall for this BS.
glad i found this site. was going to put information on his web site
i was trying to find a house so my family could be in one state again not here in oregon and in indiana.
Thanks everyone, I just about gave Kyle my information. Thanks to all of you that WILL NOT happen.
Yea, me too. Gave my email and have tons of spam. Glad thats ALL I gave. He is still doing ads in C/L here in the San Diego area. I really had my hopes up because I SO badly want to get out of this small apartment and thought this was a way out. What tipped me out was I wrote a email to him with Hers my homes in the subject line as he has asked. Never got a email back. So then I thought to Google him and found this place. Thank GOD I did. I am sure there are places one CAN go to and score on a rent to own. Ill post back with the info when I do find one. Good luck all….
Thanks so much for the info on this site. I have been receiving emails from Kyle Waitley. I tried to get this foreclosure list onfo from the renttoownhomesearch.com website and lucky for me the site would not take my debit card for whatever reason!! I had also received emails in the past from a Tim Roberts,which according to this site is one of his alias names! This guy needs to be caught and put in jail! People like all of us that are in need of a second chance are being taken advantage of by losers like him. This craigslist ad was posted on the Minneapolis Minnesota site. Sounds like he has been operating all over BEWARE!!!!!
I just received another email from kyle waitley this morning,and this one stated how he was getting ready to go to church and just wanted to try again to get me to sign up for his “foreclosure list”. I responded by stating that “he needed to pray for himself, as he is nothing but a scam artist and loser!”Googling has provided insite into the fact that he is posting on craigs list all over america and the different aliases he uses!!!WHAT A LOSER!!!
The “Government” site is a front for his credit report scam. Once you enter your email it stays there and you will get tons of spam. To get your email out of his system go into cookies and delete anything to do with this website and do the same in your temporary files. Also run a spyware like SpyBot Search and Destroy (free) and this will clean up any registry entries from his site. DO NOT give any personal or credit card information. He will make several charges and the only way to stop it is to contact your card company and have a new card issued. This guy is a SCAM and FRAUD!!
I contacted the GovT Auction site, actually and told them exactly that! they “said” they were unaware and forwarding my concerns. when I pointed out that there is not one place on their website denying this guy, and that made very suspicious, they responded that they were forwarding my concerns to the “correct department.” I also told them I was telling veryone I could find on the internet my beliefs. I don’t have the ability to investigate the emails, but I know that the authorities could. It isn’t that hard to really trace back.
Craig’s List is just as responsible. Everytime you see one of his ads take the time to report him to them. they’ll pull it. they did in Jacksonville after I conplained. It came back again, so I did it again. And they did it again. stay diligent to protect others that just want an opportunity to purchase a home and own the dream.
I’ve given him my email but was never asked for my SS #. I paid the two dollars and was then charged $34.95 but that was stated that the initial $2 was for the first week. So, I haven’t been led to far astray.
I’ve been wondering if this was too good to be true and well, it appears I had the right feeling. Oh well, back to hoping. I’m glad I took the time to check my gut feelings.
Thanks for the info!
Anyone who did give their cc information should contact your cc bank and dispute it immediately. You will get absolutely NOTHING in return for the charges other than recurring charges to your card. This is a SCAM & FRAUD! He will not answer when you send in your property requests as there are NO properties…They don’t exist. There is NO hope for this fraud. Take action immediately or he will drain your account.
Spent the time to use the WHOis.com look up and chase down the domain hosts for his mail server, the website that actually hosts the GOVT auction site and the one that hosts his private log in. All the information is not disclosed because the sites are purchased through a third party and not disclosed to the Registrar. I contacted each one of them about what is going on and informed them that I am giving everything I have collected to the FCC and the FBI. this violates interstate cmmerce laws as well as Federal Fraud laws. Will they bother with it? I don’t know. I can only hope that if I spoon feed them, they might have time to chase the “people” down. this isn’t one guy. It is a group. And in no way is any of this legitimate.
Good luck to all.
So if there arescams like these out there everyone hows of why can’t they trace who is collecting the money.It seems veryy simply the charge your credit cards, then the money gets transferred into the SCAMMERS account. What the big deal find the account and find the scammer. Now in a court of law you guy would all testify, so why can’t they do this?
I just fell for it and on a day I am off. So, after submiting my information, I was un-able to log in and view the homes, so I called the toll free number on the login page and I got someone who told me Kyle was a ‘scam’. I called my bank and cancelled my credit card immediately and I wish I could lay my hands on the bastard. BEWARE! Isn’t there a gorvenment agency that can track this manace and put him where he belongs? SOMEBODY .. HELP.
I agree RGrif, it is a group…Probably and offshore group who can’t and won’t get caught. Common sense tells me that the “Governmet” website is not that at all but rather a site set up by the scammers to appear as such. Those who were sucked in and gave their payment will never see a refund. Suck it up as a loss. All of you who run across the ads on Craigslist need to file a complaint as FRUAD with Craigslist! They (Craigslist) will hopefully listen. I have been filing complaints daily with a C&P of the fraudulant ads listed. If enough people file complaints they (Craigslist) will take action.
Wow! I almost fell for this “shiesty” deal. If his link hadn’t taken me to the foreclosure sign-up that offered 7 day free for $1.95 and then $34.95 dollars if you don’t cancel and required a credit card number. I had been seriously thinking about it if you could use a PayPal account — might not be, but feels safer to me. He also made me pretty skeptical, which is what prompted this search, when all of his emails started to include a reference to going to church, getting home from mass, etc. It just sounded like he was trying to hard to sound trustworthy. Thanks for having this site available.
Ditto for Kyle Waitley in Washington State, found on Bellingham CL.
Think about it…this person is going to make 7% on the sale, but forces
a buyer to pay $2 for a list. Why not pay the $2 himself, post the
“listings” on his own website ?
Also, if there’s any musicians on this site, beware “Omari Taylor” also.
So glad i googled Kyle Waitley, My husband and i were planning friday to use our tax return for the $2.00list and then $1,000 toward renting to own with this scam loser. Can’t believe he is still trying to get people to fall for this its sad. We were so happy we have been driving around googling foreclosure houses in the area we want to buy=( All to be let down. I’m just glad we didn’t give any ssn or money to this Kyle Waitley. It sounded to good to be true and it is. Thanks for everyone writing on here this is very helpful, Glad i found this before it was too late.
Cheers, Dumpster Doll
i forgot say where he posted we live in Maine. So east coaster look out.
Iwas thinking of moving to Indiana from Minnesota & when I went on C’sList in Indiana I got his website gave. My E-mail when I decided I might stay in Minnesota & started looking he was here 2 he sends me like 3-4 emails a day & 2 day it was actually from a kevin.BEWARE. I couldn’t get linked 2 his site so I emailed him & asked him 2 call he never did just continued 2 receive emails this guy needs 2 b put away.needs 2 b caught 2many people r suffering w/the economy the way it is & r tryin 2 have high hopes 4 tha future. Its scumbags like these thateveb take us down further in time of need if we allow it let’s all work 2gether & catch this fool
I found out about the Kyle Waitley scam almost immediately after filling out his interest form; so, I never gave him any personal info beyond my email address on the form. However, the multiple emails per day I receive from him can’t be spammed; in other words, I don’t open them, always flag them as spam, and they still arrive like clockwork.
Actually, when you think about this idiot and what he’s attempting to do,
there are unfortunately many people out here grasping at straws and he’s
found (apparently in his mind) a successful way to turn a profit at other’s
expense!
I, too, almost went for the program,but never got further than reading
about his going to church, having cookouts, etc., until my wife said this
morning “wonder if he has listings in suchandsuch?”.
Well I had deleted all his e-mails, so I googled and got your website as
I looked for his name. Thank you very much.
He will get his comeuppence sooner or later – or crawl back under that
rock. My advice is find a realtor, a local bank, and be honest about your
situation – both to yourself and them! There are, believe it or not still a
lot of good people/businesses willing to help you get to where you want
to be. It may take some time and perhaps it should, but obviously for the
quick fixers like Kyle – it only works for them…
Ok,
Something about this Kyle Waitley guy has been bothering me. His most recent email talks about his partner who is running homelineequity.com which is Kyle’s overflow from his current lease to own program. I went to the site. There is no address, phone number or person to talk to. I emailed HLE with a couple of questions and got such a rude, unprofessional and curt reply that I started to really research both Kyle and this new site that he is sending people to now.
ONCE A CON, ALWAYS A CON!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, KYLE, MR. BLUNT OR WHATEVER NAME HE IS USING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People like this should be dealt with like back in the old days. I was almost suckered in but when I had no
Returns from my emails I sent him but would get one a day with him trying to get me to go to the site for
Home and a trivia Queition site came up I was done then goggled his name and found this site THIS site is AWSOME
I am sorry to all the people that lost money to this scum bag and happy to the ones there were saved from
Him because of this information on this site
Thanks BZ in WI
I am a Realtor in CA and a long time client of mine asked me about this guy and his system. My client already knows that he does not need to pay for any listings of any homes but was interested in the rent to own aspect. He forwarded one of Kyle’s emails to me, which seemed just a bit “off”. It appeared to me that he was trying to taking advantage of people and charge them for something they could access absolutely free thru a Realtor or even on their own from the internet! I subscribed to the emails to get more info and immediately saw that it was a scam trying to take advantage of peoples life issues to make money. Did a little more research, found this site and am referring my client to it immediately. I also will be letting my corporate office know since his initials (for one of his alias’) is KW and my co’s name is Keller Williams (KW). We have a great reputation nationwide and would not want to be associated with this criminal. For anyone wanting to buy a home, go to a professional Realtor who will give you great guidance and be paid by the SELLER of the property, not the buyer.
I ended up on his spammy mailing list quite some time back on an old email address, he was advertising investment type and rent to owns/info on ebay which I signed up for. Just thought I’d add that as I’ve just found out about his being a scammer through unrelated research and haven’t seen any mention anywhere of anyone having first found him through ebay. Hope someone nails the scumbag.
I think he is now under the name Matt Weiss and using the email address: renttoownwithmatt@hotmail.com
This would actually be a good business if someone had the resources to fund it. Thats why I was interested… it actually seems legitimate. but the going to church thing… the 4 steps… the not responding to emails… I sent listing numbers to homes I KNOW are foreclosures without signing up… and I have yet to hear back… its been a week.
Matt Weiss is Kyle’s current alias.
I began receiving the emails after clicking on a link somewhere about foreclosures.
I am debt free and currently have a credit score of 740, so I really didn’t need any help with that, along with a 20% downpayment. I NEED help with
the whole “job forever” thing the banks are demanding since I am an artist and not employed anywhere. No lender will touch me in this current economy because I cannot state an average monthly income and because my buyers are not repeat buyers and often are “passing through” and really don’t want to be contacted by my lender for all their info simply because they made a small $150.00-$500.00 purchase. So when I emailed this info several times to “Matt” AKA Kyle and only got MORE come on form letters, I KNEW it was B.S.
yep thats him thanks for the info i wasw reserching him ive been burn by auto relief group before and learned to do a little back ground checking now
Kyle Waitley is now Matt Weiss. They were or are conducting this scam in Pennsylvania via CL. I am now in San Antonio, Texas and they are here via CL conducting the same scam. Don’t fall for it!!
You can sign up for government auctions and foreclosure alerts, free. Go to IRS.gov or USA.gov. You can also find the number to report tax fraud at IRS.gov. Kytle Watley is committing tax fraud if his business is not legit and not registered anyplace.
I also found this guy on CL Los Angeles. Again under Matt Weiss:
We buy these forclosed homes (that a buyer picks out) and
than re-sell the home to them on a “Rent to Own” basis.
Well now it’s YOUR TURN to pick out a a few forclosed
homes and let us go to work for you!
- You need at least $1,000 down PLUS first months payment
- A steady job for the past 90 days
- And a TRUE desire to own your own home
YES… you pick the home out and either myself, our
investors, OR are list of private lenders will finance
the home for you
This is how we make a living, so we do sell the home to
you at a higher price then we bought it for.
We still give you TONs of equity so still you get a GREAT
DEAL!
EXAMPLE:
House Value – 150,000
Purchase it for – 65,000
Our 7% fee – $4,550
Sell it to you for – $69,550
Monthly Payments – $500 to $600 a month
This is how I lay out EVERY DEAL before you say YES or
NO.

I used to get e-mails from kyle waitley and now am receiving them from robert james. Be careful
In my opinion:
After ALOT of research the below company is the company scamming Americans coast-to-coast on Craigslist.
And, DO NOT let them fool you that somebody else is “Kyle” or “Matt” or:
https://govauctionalert1.securepagehost.com

same thing. Matt was Kyle before. I have received several e-mails after going on Craigslist. This guy is a “TOTAL CON” Thank God I never sent this guy my personal info
Wow I started to fall for this scam….I founf it on Craigslist.org. I emailed “Matt” and after 5 emails and still not one of them was from a real person, I googled the email address. This is such a waste!!! Too bad people cant be honest any more. what ever you do dont sign up for the “government auction” websites that are suggested. There are free website that are legit for government foreclosures. BEWARE!!!
Hi everyone
My husband and I are looking for homes and this is not the first time we are buying a home. ‘Matt Weiss’ is in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Craigslist too. I would not have given one thin dime to him myself, but not everyone is able to avoid the scam.
I have some ideas……I do volunteer work online, own several websites myself and do the work with a friend who has several and everything is on his dedicated server. My friend and I co-host multiple radio and live shows online. All of our time is free for what we do, and we do incur costs for domains, software, server, etc., but it is to increase awareness for a good cause. We do shows on any unrelated topic also, and can get this a lot of exposure on the net. We also have many online forums on the server
So, basically, I am thinking that we could go ahead and do a show about ‘Matt Weiss’, provide his stuff via screen shots, etc. and our shows are archived and auto post to hundreds of locations. We would be happy to provide our time and exposure on the net to help.
We have a huge online presence and following and would be happy to go ahead and do a show and get his ‘scam’ info all over all of our sites too.
We would be happy to give our time to create more awareness and our time is free.
We have done shows on other topics before, and whether it is for our cause or another topic, such as this….we provide well researched facts and our opinions.
Just say the word and we’ll do it….it would be our pleasure to expose him. Our primary cause has to do with criminal justice anyway.
I am purposely NOT putting ANY of our sites or anything in this post, as I am not trying to promote what we are doing…which we dedicate our time for free and incur the costs for everything.
This is about trying to help this cause. To be honest, we can do shows and post anything anywhere we like…..but this is a very nice website and I respect the owner that is doing good in the world like we are. That is why I am sort of asking first.

Well, he is Matt Weiss and thank God I never gave my personal information! I now get them from him and someone named Robert James. People need to get a life! He is in Arizona too, watch out zonies!
I almost fell for this! It sounded great but i could not find any info on them from the bbb. I did find you
Thanks so Much
“This is my BLONDE OMG moment”!!!! I have been had too but Thank God for only $1.97! I did give the Gov’t Auction my credit card no to charge the $1.97 and I checked my bank statement and it was for only $1.97. However after getting all those fake e-mails from “MATT WEISS” about the houses and never answering any of my e-mails back I too got suspicious. So my son and daughter-in-law suggested searching the web for the address that he had listed :
National Office Real-Freedom-For-You Inc
6871 So. Birdsong Dr
Oak Creek, WI
53134
US
and “LORD AND BEHOLD” there it was with the “SCAM” notice!!!!!
We live in Decatur, Alabama and we also had gotten e-mails from that Robert James guy and a few others but Thank God I did not respond to any of them!
But poor ole Matt is gonna be feeling real sad because “THANKS TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR INFORMATION” he will not get another penny from us because we cancelled our debit card and also reported him to the BBB!!!!
SOOO!! Please everyone be aware of this pathetic little fool because he will be caught in time and the Good Lord knows where to find him even if we can’t at the present time!
“SHAME ON YOU MATT OR WHOEVER YOU ARE FOR BEING SUCH A HEARTLESS AND CRUEL AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU ARE ONE!!!!!
This guy also goes by the name of Matt Weiss. He has been lingering around Craigslist. Rent to Own Homes.
He is posting in the Spokane WA area as Matt Weiss – same email scams… I recommend that if you want a rent to own – lease purchase or owner contract you contact a local LICENSED realtor who can help you. The deals are out there and if you get a good realtor that will work hard to find you you what you want it can work.
DO NOT FALL FOR THE MAT WEISS of the world!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ON THIS GUY.HE SENT ME EMAILS AFTER I WAS LOOKING ON CRAIGS LIST.HE IS OPERATING UNDER THE NAME ,MATT WEISS,HERE IN DALLAS,TX.THANK YOU VERY MUCH,BECAUSE I HONESTLY ALMOST FELL FOR IT.I STARTED LOOKING INTO IT AFTER HE NEVER RESONDED TO ANY OF MY EMAILS.
Does anyone have a copy of the emails “Matt Weiss” is sending out? If you can forward one to Steve@IveTriedThat.com I would greatly appreciate it. I’d love to be able to post an update on this and issue another warning.
[...] year ago, I wrote a post warning Craigslist users of a guy named Kyle Waitley who was running a rent-to-own scam. It appears that he is still at it, only this time he is under the guise of “Matt [...]
I too live in minnesota and found the matt weiss rent to own add on C/L. I signed up on the GovT Auction site and sent matt my list of homes. I later received an email back saying that he was going to make sure the homes where still available. This was over 3 weeks ago. Before this I would receive 3-4 emails a day from matt and since I have not heard a single word. I sent him an email today stating that I am going to report him as a scam to the Better Business Bureau.
Steve- I will send you a copy of some of the emails he sent me.

It seems everyone here on this site has been affected by “kyle” or “Matt” … They are both the same person Jeremy Blunt . I know Jeremy personally. We went to the same high school. Let me tell you all that he is getting rich off of people just like you. He drives a caddilac and lives in a nice condo, and that is just on the surface, who knows what else he has that all of us can’t see on the surface. You people fund his extreme lifestyle which is party life all the time, expensive vacations and so on . I’ve been with him during this time and he actually brags that he gets paid to do nothing and all that. He lives in St.Francis , WI in a condo right by the lake …that’s lake Michigan . His home town of cudahy is just miles away . He grew up on swift avenue in cudahy , wi ..good luck all
Same scam still operating in Boston as of 1/3/11 under the name Matt Weiss, renttoownwithmatt@hotmail.com . The email says:

National Office – EZ to Own Homes Inc

Sherman Oaks, CA 91411
They don’t send you a list of rent-to-own homes. They just try to strong arm you into getting a credit score trough their affiliate program. Then, when you get charged the $29.99 previous posters are talking about, they take a cut of that from the credit score reseller. Just sleaze!
He’s also in Panama City, Florida as Matt Weiss. I get at least 1 email a day but have become so skeptical of just about everything now days that I make sure to check it out before committing. Thank God I did. What I don’t understand is these posts started over a year ago and he is still at it. Why can’t this slime ball be caught and put where he belongs?
Attention all Kyle Waitley is now Matt Weiss pulling the same rent to own scam as usual, Do not answer or send any information just delete every time you get contacted. Do not waste your time.
Not sure if any one posted this info but when I unsubscribed I got this contact info for Matt Weiss
Matt Weiss

Matt Weiss is now on craigslist in Oregon under mattweiss1@hotmail.com. Thanks for warning me.
He is still here in Arizona on CL, as Matt Weiss, so glad I found this website, did not give any info as my gut told me this is a too good to be true deal. After reading many posts, hope this idiot gets burned!!!
