Jamey and Lauren Bertram have been inundated with prospective buyers after their $1.6 million Kansas City home was fraudulently listed for just $10,200 on the real estate website Zillow. This shocking scam left the couple struggling to fend off eager viewers while they worked to rectify the situation.
The 5,300-square-foot, five-bedroom home, which the Bertrams purchased for around $1 million in 2019, was never intended to be listed for sale. However, a con artist managed to post a fake advertisement on Zillow, creating a chaotic situation for the unsuspecting homeowners. The listing suggested that the property was being sold at an absurdly low price as a charitable gesture, due to the owner's supposed wealth.
