PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - A local man came to NewsChannel 5, saying he was out more than $7,000 dollars after being scammed by someone who he thought was renting a home out to him.

Over the weekend, the Ocean Ridge Police Department arrested the Michael Gunn for trespassing at the home.

Michael Gunn says he signed a lease agreement back on December 1 and paid $7,200 dollars in cash to move into a half million dollar home along Ocean Avenue.

“I met him at a bar. Said he was a realtor. And then I met him at the house. We signed the paperwork and I paid him. He gave me the keys,” Gunn said in an interview.

Reporter: “You met him at the bar, not Craigslist?

Gunn: “Yeah.”

Reporter: “Craigslist or bar?”

Gunn: “Craigslist.”

Reporter: “You just told me the bar a second ago?”

Gunn: “Bar, yeah.”

Gunn was arrested for trespassing. According to state records, Gunn has been arrested 29 times in Palm Beach County, including for trespassing.


Hopefully they get the fraudulent realtor off the skreets.

Evidence seized indicates this man is telling the truth. Here’s a copy of the check used in the purchase...

There's no realtor.

I know exactly where this is. Used to own a house on Sailfish Lane in Ocean Ridge.

He’s going to die a painful death by lead poisoning at some point.


That or his pit bull will get him.

Never had a problem with them being a block from the ocean. The breezes from he ocean kept them away. On inland, yes.

Not in Ocean Ridge. The only black dude there is the one in the news story I posted who leased that $500k property from the realtor he met on craigslist at the bar.

The house was off the Intracoastal...west of A1A. Wound up buying in Lighthouse point instead.

If I could find Mr Gunn now, things would get better. We could leave this town and run forever
