CONSUMER WARNING: FINANCIAL FRAUD & CREDIT CARD SCAM ALERT; DO NOT GIVE YOUR CARD TO REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS
CONSUMER WARNING: FINANCIAL FRAUD & CREDIT CARD SCAM ALERT
DO NOT GIVE YOUR CARD TO REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS
The Violation: Unlawful credit card extraction, bank fraud, and predatory bait-and-switch tactics.
1. THE FACT: SYSTEMATIC UNAUTHORIZED CREDIT CARD CHARGES
If you are considering dealing with Real Estate Solutions, check your bank statements daily. Once this company obtains your financial credentials, they weaponize them to pull unauthorized funds directly from your account.
Real Estate Solutions executed five separate, completely unauthorized credit card charges of $515.00 each, totaling $2,575.00 under the merchant name "REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS CO" or "REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS 800-995-1285 CA". The exact dates of these fraudulent extractions were:
Nov-26-2025: $515.00
Dec-17-2025: $515.00
Feb-16-2026: $515.00
Feb-25-2026: $515.00
Mar-05-2026: $515.00
2. CONFRONTATION, EVASION, AND THE "BAIT-AND-SWITCH"
When these unauthorized extractions were discovered and they were confronted, they were completely unable to tell me what the charges were actually for.
As documented directly in chat files, responses consisted of complete evasion, delay tactics, and dismissive filtering to dodge accountability.
To cover up the theft, they performed a classic retroactive "bait-and-switch." They later claimed that the landlord had to be sued separately and that these stolen $515 charges were going toward that specific action--despite the absolute fact that there was no signed second retainer or agreement authorizing a separate lawsuit or separate costs at the time the charges were stolen.
3. BANK FRAUD DETERMINATION & SCAMMER RETALIATION
A formal fraud dispute was opened with the credit card company. Following an investigation, the bank verified that these five transactions were entirely unauthorized and fraudulent. The bank permanently reversed the transactions and refunded the $2,575.00 back to my account.
Infuriated by losing the stolen funds, they then attempted a retaliatory clawback. They tried to get those fraudulent charges back--and even more money--by sending over a predatory second retainer agreement that was never authorized and never signed.
4. OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN: STATE BAR COMPLAINT FILED
Because this entity operates alongside non-attorney handlers who falsely present themselves as legal operators, a formal Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) Complaint has been officially filed against the business owner and his associates with the State Bar of California.
Notice to the Public: Filing a complaint helps the State Bar stop legal services fraud and may prevent others from becoming victims of fraud. The State Bar carefully reviews all complaints against the Unauthorized Practice of Law. The unauthorized practice of law is criminal conduct. The State Bar refers complaints about nonattorney unauthorized practice of law to appropriate law enforcement agencies, which will decide whether to pursue criminal prosecution.
CONSUMER ADVICE:
Guidelines prohibit posting names, but protect your finances by staying completely away from Real Estate Solutions. If your card has been hit by them, immediately file a fraud dispute with your financial institution and report their actions to the State Bar.
