Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 28, 2026 —
A Waco Realtor is warning residents in the Waco-Temple-Bryan area about fake property listings appearing on Facebook Marketplace. The listings reportedly use photos and details taken from legitimate property advertisements to promote properties the posters do not own.
The warning concerns interested parties who may send deposits in response to the fraudulent advertisements. The information provided does not specify how many listings have been identified, how much money may have been lost, or whether any particular property or prospective renter has been affected.
The Realtor’s name was not provided, and no date for the warning was included. The available information also does not identify specific listings, say how long the advertisements have been appearing, or describe whether the matter has been reported to law enforcement or Facebook.
The reported pattern involves copying details and photographs from legitimate listings and using them to advertise properties the poster does not own. That can make a fake advertisement appear connected to a real property listing, while a person who sends a deposit could be exposed to financial loss, according to the warning.
No further details were provided about the payment methods involved, the amounts requested, or any steps taken in response to the listings. The warning is specific to fake property advertisements reported on Facebook Marketplace in the Waco-Temple-Bryan area; the information available does not establish the scale of the activity or whether it is occurring elsewhere.
