Okay, and he tells you, "Hey, the guy passed away and they're renting the home now." Yes. Did How did you come in contact with the female? Okay. First was So, when my cousin called me, she said, "Hey, cuz where I lived at in Amador, the guy was going to sell the property. So, I had to move out." So, I was actually like I was in a rush to look for a place to move cuz I had my stuff and everything. So, my cousin called me and the guy had passed away. I think he had been a couple months and he passed away. The They went in there and they found him. Actually, the the family came over and asked my cousin, "Have you seen um Henry?" I think was his name. "Have you seen him?" My cousin like, "No, I haven't seen him, but he usually comes outside and gets his mail and his trash and everything. So, they were like, "Hm, something's going on." So, next you know, they found him dead inside the house. So, like I said, I don't know how these people got these keys, but they're even Hispanics and Mr. Henry was he was old. White white guy. So, my cousin knew that I was looking for a place and I was like, "I'm desperate like I work and that's all I do." Right. So, the guys it was it was the first guy was he was a Cuban guy. So, um he offered my cousin the rent and I talked to the guy and then he's like, "Hey, man, like the house is rent um this and that and this and that." And I was like, "Well, how much you guys renting it for?" So, they were like, "We want 1,800 a month." I was like, "Well, I can't do that. That's too much money for me. I can do 1,400." So, they're like, "Yeah, okay." So, I went over there and met with him and then um they brought the lease. The girl brought the lease. And then the guy um he was living in there and he's like, "I'm just going to take my stuff and get out of here and you just bring all your stuff and that's it." So, that happened. He ended up leaving and this and that. >> When When was that? Before I went in But but like was it June? July? Um um it was last um the 7th. Okay. Of August? No. No, the month 7. Oh, okay, July. Yeah, July. I don't know month. I know, you're fine. So, um it was July. Okay. And did you see him physically take stuff out of the home as if he was moving or he just told you? >> No, he just told me he was going to get some of his stuff and move out. And then So, when I went when he gave me the keys and everything, that lady that lady um Wendy Pires, she came and dropped the lease and then she came and met with me and then um she signed these stuff and everything and but when she brought the lease, supposedly the owner of the lease is Edward Ramos. She said she works for him. Okay.

Okay, so first last month's rent. >> Yes. Okay. So, I did that. So, then um then I like for that whole month, like I called her and I was like, "Hey, um how are you doing?" And like I messaged her and then she didn't get back to me at all. Okay. So, that's where I start my my head start clicking. Okay. I was like, "Man, I think So, I don't know something's up here." So, when that happened, my So, my head start clicking. I was like, "Man, what if I'm getting She just I'm just paying somebody I already got to pay this." Right. So, um So, my rent was due on 5th and she she instantly got a hold of me a week early and said, "Hey, I need my rent." I was like, "What do you mean you need your rent?" She's like, "Yeah, you're late behind fees. I'm going to charge you $25 a day." I was like, "Ma'am, like my rent is not due. I have a whole week to pay my rent." I said, "Don't worry about your money. I'll pay you rent. You don't have to worry about the rent." She's like, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the rent was due."

So, you see the courts or the bank or the mortgage company is like they're fighting or something. He's There's something he is involved with it. Right. So, when I read this, I was like, "Whoa." I was like, "I might even get whenever this they come put a lock on this, I got to get out." Right. You know? So, where I'm going to go? I spent my money in here. So, I was like, "I don't want to have no problem with no police officer Sorry for no police officers or nothing like that with the law." I was like, "Man, I'm like, what the hell could I do?" So, my head start clicking. I was like, "Man, what am I going to do?" So, I went to his house. I pull up to his house and I talked to him. I was like, "Hey, I'm sorry to bother [clears throat] you."

So, I went to the courthouse last week. I missed my day of work cuz I told my boss, I was like, "Look, man, I'm I'm not I'm not trying to Where the hell am I going to live at? Where am I going to live at? My parents have house, but I don't I never since I was a young kid, I moved out. I work and don't have my stuff at my parents' house. So, I was like, "These people don't have nothing related with this. My friends are realtors and I got my friends involved. I was like, "Hey, man, I was like, you guys are realtors. I mean, this dude doesn't exist." My sister-in-law is a realtor in Connecticut, especially from Connecticut, and she has a lot of access to realtors. So, my sister-in-law went and looked for him. He doesn't even show up. Okay. >> So, the and even the the card that I have on on his thing, um it came to a house and my sister-in-law like they have records through all them houses, so she called and the guy was is like it's a family ledger. We never dealt with none of them people in regardless to that name. He's like, "And I'm sorry, I can't tell you more, but I'm living in it. I own this house and it's a family." And the card that he gave me, Eric Ramos, supposedly, when she when the girl that's coming collecting rent, >> Right. she brought me a card with his number and his address and this and the number you can still call until now and I guarantee you she will they won't pick up. They never the phone phone is like disconnected or something. Okay. But like I said, like I just want to know what can I do because I'm not going to pay them rent. They want to come collect rent this month. Right. But I'm not going to pay them no rent. Right. Yeah, I honestly, from the legal standpoint, don't pay them rent because it's a fraud. I I think probably what happened is they went on the clerk of court's website and found that this house was under foreclosure. >> That's what we were thinking about cuz there's people that do that. That's what my sister-in-law told me. >> Yeah. So, um and then like like I was telling him like she acted so weird. And I know that name. I know that's not her freaking name. >> Right. Yeah. Yeah, um I if I I was you like I'm going to take all this I'll make copies so you have copies for yourself. >> is the other one that came in that is going to be in foreclosure. Look at this one. This one. But like I said, this this guy's name I don't know. Okay. Are you through with this? Yes. Okay, you're done with this. What is this? Um yeah, I I wouldn't pay them rent. >> [music] >> Um I would start looking for another place. >> Okay, yeah.

Yeah, like I said, I would just start looking for another place. Um I would [clears throat] stay in the home until the bank actually comes and serves the paperwork and says, you know, you're being evicted and you got to get out. Um until that happens, I mean you're you can stay there and I wouldn't pay anybody money. >> Okay. Because like I said, it's they're just pocketing money off of a house that they don't own. Okay. So, the people actually moved in? Your cousin said they moved in? Yeah, those people were living in in there they're they're living in there. Do you still have the picture of the tag? Yeah.

And so, she's supposed to meet you today? No, she's supposed to be coming for the rent like soon. Soon? Okay. But I don't know what to tell her. She's supposed to come to my house like I'm I'm going to go talk and see if they want to set something up to maybe get her Yes, that was that was the thing like I was like cuz So, my friends are the Orange County police deputies and I asked them what could I do and I was like she's like, "Bro, just go." They're like, "Go to go to the Ocoee Police Department, but on Sunday they sent me they were sending me like to Winter Garden." I don't know. I guess So, my buddies told me that like we can't do nothing cuz this we're Orange County. >> Right. And my buddies are sheriffs that went to school with me and I actually reached out to them. I was like, "Yo, dude, what can I do?" I even got text messages that he texts me. He's like, "I can't we can't I can't do nothing about it. You need to go to your local police department close by." So, I was like, "Man, I ain't got her tags and everything." He's like, "We just I can't do nothing to help you out, bro. I'm I wish I could, but I can't." So, that's what made he told he was actually one that told me watch for help. I was like, "So, what can I do?" You know what I was like like like cuz I don't want her to come to the house and then I don't want her to be like, "Oh, he got me hostage. He won't leave me." cuz I was like it's the [ __ ] it's a done it's a wrap cuz they're going to believe the girl more than me. So, I was like and I don't want to have none of that cuz I was actually telling my wife I was like, "You [ __ ] block her one side of my my sister block her one side." I was like, "But then my wife I was like the lady starts acting dumb, it's going to be it's going to be a whole goddamn mess cuz my wife is cuz she'll work for Bernie and everything. I was like, "You know, I don't want to have none of this." So, Yeah. I could just call her police department and have like, "Hey, come get your rent." and then boom right there. Yeah. That's what I'm going to I'm going to try to see if our investigations unit wants to do something like that. So, someone may call you in the next day or so to maybe set something like that up.

Um And then like I said, I'll send you the uh text message for Okay. What house is it? Yeah, phone number associated with this address and you said there's a fence around it. That's all I got on this. Because even my sister-in-law told me she's like, "You know what? You know, cuz she she knows all about that stuff. She's like, "You know if you talk to You're ready to get the fire started. Mr. Jerry and you tell him that you come to an agreement saying that uh say you pay the whatever is owed on the house and you come to an agreement you will work with him. He can't kick you in the house and you paying everything off and just go to the courthouse and say that he's the owner of the place and he's paying still the mortgage, but I'm the one paying it.
