NY man says he found ‘super nice’ brokers and a good apartment. But $4k later, he is ‘pretty much homeless’

A New York resident claims a real estate broker scammed him after they took his money and then disappeared. The man took to TikTok to warn others about Finders.nyc where he described his experience and claimed to have lost $4,000, believing he was paying rent, a deposit, and other expenses for what would have been his new home.

The TikToker, who goes by the name Galore, shared a video telling people in New York to avoid Finders.nyc. “I just got f—ing scammed,” he said, visibly upset as he filmed himself standing on the street. Speaking about the real estate brokers whom he dealt with, he said: “If you see them on Zillow or StreetEasy, run for your f—ing life. They literally scammed me out of $4,000.”
