Homeless Victims Of Rental Scam Need YOUR HELP!!
Donation protected
Nikki Sampson and her three young children have been homeless for two and a half years. They finally moved into their new home last week only to learn they had been scammed out of over $3,000!!!
As reported on Channel 11 News in Atlanta this family is in dire need of finding a home!
Blessing Bags of Warmth For The Homeless learned Nikki originally reached out via a Zillow ad to Progress Residential on April 14th.
She received a call back from a person identifying themselves as a representative for the management company.
What transpired was a cleverly orchestrated scam where, after paying over $3000 for a deposit and first month's rent; funds which composed of her income tax refund and donations from friends and family, she learned that the home she moved into was not owned by the person she had paid!
This mother has truly tried! She has truly followed all the rules that society places up on a person to pull themselves out of homelessness. Why is it that, even after following all the rules, this family must suffer?
It is imperative that Nikki and her family have established a legitimate residency before the 1st of May.
Blessing Bags of Warmth, in partnership with Giving Grace, will be assisting this family in recouping the funds lost as well as finding a new home.
Let's do what we can to help this family!
Thank you so very much for your continued support that allows us to be the good in the neighborhood especially in times like this when this family is surrounded by so much bad.
