The resident walked ahead of the women and they went into the flat on the premises. “The one woman asked about the gas geyser and how it worked. She seemed very interested so I explained. Every time I wanted to move, she would ask another question and kept me busy.” When the group left, he realised that they had left a cellphone on the kitchen counter. “I went outside to return it and as the car pulled away, I realised that there was no number plate.”
Several other home sellers have been caught out by the same group of women and one managed to capture footage on her home CCTV cameras. “It is the same group who are obviously targeting people trying to sell their home. One homeowner even gave them tea.” “While you see a home for sale, they see a home that’s easy to access. This allows them to get their hands on easy to exploit items like credit card statements, jewellery and family heirlooms, while an agent talks about curb appeal. They can even tour your home with an invitation, identifying valuables in every room before they return to burgle your home,” one agent warned online.
