eric thune put his los gatos home up for sale and moved to santa barbara before it sold. well, of all the things that can go sideways in a home sale, he did not expect this. i get a text from my pool guy saying, do you know there's people at your pool? obviously i was quite shocked and said, no, i didn't. his security camera snapped. these photos of this family. eric's pool guy then put one of the strangers on the phone. i said, what the heck are you doing on my property, you're trespassing. he said, no, i rented this house on swimply. demand for rentals hasn't cooled off at all. swimply made a splash as a start up five years ago. it lets people rent pools, decks, backyards and places to hold parties by the hour. some owners and swimply are earning over six digits a year. well, somehow eric's pool ended up on swimply for $46 an hour. an imposter with the username eric daniel pulled photos from the real eric's real estate listing and apparently enticed this family to book. eric informed them they'd both been duped and told him to leave. i think he was probably just as shoc

take a peek at eric thunes, former pool. these pictures were on a pool rental app. well, here's the problem eric didn't put them there. you see, he put his home up for sale and moved before the sale closed. well, in the interim, an imposter plucked the photos from eric's real estate listing and posted the pool for rent. then eric's security camera captured strangers arriving to swim in it. eric contacted us because he said the pool rental app wasn't responding. how could somebody post a listing without verifying that they actually own the property? we held the app accountable. we enlisted our intern, grace to test its security measures, and now the startup says it is changing its policies to watch our full story right now, and to see how you can try to protect your backyard from imposters, visit our website, nbcbayarea.com. slash responds. and if you have a similar experience to share, please do snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form. thanks, chris. if you're making weekend plans, don't forget giants are set to play the yankees
