Austin (KXAN) reports that rental scams are on the rise in Austin, TX. Michelle Deloach is a victim of one of these rental scams. She states,
“We were so excited. It came with a dog door, a guest house and everything… Things in Austin go like that, so we thought, ‘We love this house, let’s jump on it.’ We sent over the deposit and the dog deposit and first months rent. It all added up to be $5,200.”
It seemed like a wonderful opportunity for Deloach, but when she went to go move in, the property owner never met her to give her a key and never responded to her calls and messages.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) also says that these scams are happening more frequently, especially in booming cities like Austin.
Tips to avoid scams:
- If it’s too good to be true, it may be a scam.
- Don’t wire funds to anyone you’ve never met.
- Don’t accept any wire funds that you did not initiate.

Yahoo! Sports reports that Evander Kane, professional ice hockey left winger for the San Jose Sharks, says his bankruptcy coming to light brought him relief.
Kane spoke to reporters about how dealing with the bankruptcy has been very stressful, but about how it was a relief to not try and hide it anymore. He claims it was a big relief for him.
From The Article:
“For years, I was dealing with all these things,” Kane said. “It’s having that constant stress. Everybody has stress. But once I made that decision (to file for bankruptcy), people think it is the start of something. Really, it’s the end of this chapter of my life. I think that is where the big misconception is about this.”
