Realty Home Investment LLC

On Thursday, 04-26-18 at 8:00 a.m., Officer Andrade met with a 31-year old Daly City resident who wanted to report fraudulent activity that occurred the week prior. The victim said on 04-12-18, he was on line and came across a company called “Realty Home Investment LLC”. The victim contacted the company over the phone and asked if the company could assist him in starting a housecleaning company in Daly City. The victim said the company said they were a large company with assets all over the country and asked for a $4,000 payment. The victim said they then retracted that figure and asked for a 20% down payment and then subsequently lowered it to a 10% down payment. The victim felt something was not right but continued with the requests that were being made. The victim sent $920.00 into an account as instructed. The next day after he received a message to go to an address in Daly City to clean a home, no one was at the home. Officer Andrade believes it appears the “Realty Home Investment LLC” company is a fictitious company.
