Here at Magnolia we are having the same issues with people being scammed by Marketplace. We ask everyone to do their due diligence before giving any money to anyone.
Please note:
-Our signs are posted in every yard
-we have a personal website
-we never post our inventory on Facebook
-you MUST make an appointment with the leasing agent and meet them
Be cautious and do your research. Once you hand over money, there is nothing anyone can do.

Scammers are stealing lockbox codes meant only for verified agents, and in one case, told a victim to break in when the code stopped working.
