A Lexington woman says she got a surprise days after putting her home on the market.
Gina Jesse says instead of offers to buy, she was getting requests to rent. She says a listing online showed her home for rent at a price lower than the market value.
Shortly after reaching out to that ad about renting her home, she got a response coming from someone using the name Jesse Keith, which is the reversal of Gina’s husband’s name Keith Jesse.
Jesse was able to contact the sites where she saw the ad, and it was taken down. The only accurate listing is the for sale ad. She hopes this situation serves as a warning to other sellers.
Jesse did report this to Lexington police. She also talked with the third-party company that generated the ad out on numerous sites. She says they are working diligently to figure out how exactly the information got compromised.
