We don’t re-post or distribute your ad to any thirty party

Monday, April 6th, 2009

It has been brought to our attention that scammers have scraped ads on FindMyRoof and re-posted them on other popular sites, like Craigslist.com for example. Obviously they would create fake contact emails - sometimes using the contact name left by ad poster - and asked for cash deposit sent to places outside of United States.

For the ad posters, we want to make sure you understand that we don’t re-post or distribute your ad to a third party. Your ad on FindMyRoof ends here on FindMyroof. If you found out that your property has been posted on other sites without your authorization, please contact the support or management on the involved sites immediately. 

Most scammers operate outside of United States, they often claim they are abroad for various reasons, their request of cash to be sent abroad upfront is surely a telltale sign of scamming. For this reason we don’t allow foreign contact on our ad. If you encounter any ad on FindMyRoof whose contact person is located outside United States, please notify us immediately or “report it” from the ad page.

We do apologize for the inconvenience for those want to post real estate ads on FindMyRoof but are currently abroad. One way to use our service is to find a friend or family member who resides in US and can help you post ad and forward inquiries. And thank you for understanding.

New release to address the login session issue

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Some of our users who use Internet Explorer (IE) have been experiencing problems with signing up or logging in. With the new release that we just put out, this issue should have been fixed.

If you still experience problem like being randomly kicked out of a login session, please make sure email us.

Although only a very small percentage of our users who are using IE browsers (not all the IE users are affected) had these problems, we felt the issue was serious enough and basically rebuilt the authentication mechanism for the site.

Oh by the way, Firefox is a much better web browser and we love using it.
