Kris Greven AKA Krista Friedman review: Scam 12

Please copy and paste this link in your browser for complaints on this person going back to 2008.

This is the property owner of the property in question. I am responding to the allegation that we had anything to do with this scam. The claim is not only ridiculous but laughable. We are as much victims in this whole mess as anyone else, and I would be very happy to personally speak to anyone doubting otherwise. See my emil address below.

If Kris is suggesting that "we have everyones money", I ask how this is possible as the money was put directly into her account by each and every person scammed in this unfortunate event. AGAIN: THE MONEY WAS PUT INTO HER ACCOUNT UNDER HER NAME AND LISTED WITH HER ADDRESS. No one elses. Go check your contracts people. Where did your money go? Who did you send it to? Who benefited from it?

The fact of the matter is simple. We leased the property on a 6 month lease to a person other than Kris.The person that held the lease specifically leased our property to do vacation rentals. AGAIN, WE DID NOT HAVE A LEASE WITH KRIS. Her name was not anywhere on any legal document. She was simply a "leasing agent" for the person who held the lease to do vacation rentals at the home we own. The lease with the person who legally held the lease ended. Somewhere during the time of the inception of the lease and the end of the lease it appears that Kris began putting the monies into her own account - not to the person who held the legal lease and who hired her to be a leasing agent for the property. Once he figured out what she was doing he contacted us and terminated the lease.

Kris Greven/Friedman had taken deposits far beyond the date that the lease was legally terminated and is now unable to repay the monies owed to people. Its that simple. It was I who legally had the listings removed from HomeAway and VRBO because Kris had not or would not do it, even after her attorney contacted us and stated that she had.

The deception runs very deep and the situation is worse than anyone can guess, with thousands of dollars of peoples deposits lost or even payments in full lost. None of these monies went to me, I did not benefit from this fraud.

I would be very, very happy to personally explain to anyone effected by this situation. My email is : foiledagainbatman@aol.com. Please email me with you name and phone number and rest assured I will call you back and answer any tough questions you have.

Again: I WELCOME ANYONES QUESTIONS AND WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANYONES COMPLAINTS OR DOUBTS. I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE AND HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT FORTHCOMING AND HELPFUL TO ANY AND ALL WHO HAVE COME TO ME WITH QUESTIONS.

Please understand that for reasons known to her, Kris is out to sabotage and bad mouth us as she is angry. End of story. Look at the posts on this link and other links that date back to 2007. Those posts alone should speak for themselves. This isn’t Kris’s first time in this same situation.

QUOTE AND LINK RE: SAME SITUATION ON ANOTHER THREAD ON THIS COMPLAINTS BOARD:

"I paid money to rent a vacation home for a week for my wedding & thanks to the ACTUAL OWNERS of the house I was able to have my wedding. Now my problem is with my $1000 deposit. I left the house in AMAZING shape. I'm talking spotless. Some b.s. happen a few days after we had checked out with SOME OTHER RENTER AFTER US (2 DAYS after we checked out) & now all of a sudden Kris can not pay us our deposit. She says she owes it to us, but she can't pay it. Now her partner Shaw Wen who is on my contract & who I put half of my full rental money into his account said he was going to mail me out a check and has not. Its been over a month since I checked out. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SHAW WEN INC (realitor), KRISTA FRIEDMAN AKA KRIS GREVEN OR HOMEAWAY! U WILL GET SCREWED OUT OF YOU MONEY!"

Vacation Property Rental Scam
Complaint Rating: 100 % with 1 votes
Company information:

United States
Phone: [protected]

Krista Friedman dba Las Vegas Event Venues.Com posted her vacation property on "VRBO" (vacation rental by owners). Rental agreement & deposit of $2820 was signed/sent to her mid May 09. Last week I receive a letter that the company has filed for bankruptcy. Ive lost my deposit and now have no place to stay.

While searching for another vacation property, Ive discovered that this lady & her "so called" business was some sort of scam.

So lesson learned ~ economy sucks/people suck/"register" your trip before sending any money out!"

THIS GIRL HAS THE AUDACITY TO BLAME ME FOR OWING PEOPLE MONEY? I DON'T THINK SO.

Once again, this is the owner of the property in question. I would like to point something out:

The bottom line is this: The minute we found out about what was going on, we LEGALLY put a stop to it. We made sure that every avenue we took was legally correct so that we could not be held accountable in this scam. We did not benefit from anyones loss.

I answer to a previous comment made by quad_12 stating in essence that the fraudsters involved must be stopped. SOMEONE DID STOP HER. WE DID. We, the property owners, effectively put her and her long term scam out of business. We made sure that every avenue she used to commit her long term (see posts back to 2007) spree of fraud were TERMINATED. The bank account she used to commit the fraud was closed thanks to information that WE provided and an angry person who was defrauded in partnership with VRBO/Homeaway who we worked with, VRBO and Homeaway have her black listed her because we alerted them to her fraud (Not only our house but to another she was using to do the same thing), a restraining order in place against her by us, notices placed by us on the internet by us to connect her aliases in hopes that it will help any future or current victims. I have done all I can and can sleep well at night knowing that.

I am sorry for all who have been effected. It has been very hard on us too, but we refuse to stand by and let her get away with this any longer if we can help it. Certainly not using our house to do it.

Again, I welcome your call at any time and am happy to work with any authorities involved or answer their questions. Not only can I answer questions, but I have all legal documents to clear us of any wrong doing as well as a large collection of evidence against her and her alone - showing where the money went and how she did it. This evidence was provided to me by scammed parties who I have been in contact with.

Kris,

I read your rebuttal, the majority of which is total grasping at straws nonsense and the rest has small elements of truth that you have twisted to vindicated yourself. I will respond with this only; YOU DID NOT HOLD A LEASE WITH US. YOU DEPOSITED THE MONIES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU ACTED COVERTLY, ON YOUR OWN, AND LEID TO US REPEATEDLY. YOU AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WHOLE MESS.

You were not forthcoming about your and the legal lease holders relationship coming to a close in March. We did not go 'behind your back". We were asked, by the legal lease holder, to sever the lease a month early. He explained FULLY as to why.

You did not tell us that you were operating on your own after the legal lease holder severed ties with you due to circumstances that he fully explained to us.

You DID tell us that the legal lease holder would "probably not sign on to another lease after the close of the initial 6 month lease period" and "Would we consider leasing to you instead?". We NEVER gave you ANY indication that we would. Especially as things began to surface about your history .

You collected monies and deposits from people way beyond the date of the termination of the lease . I assume you thought that we would continue the lease with you once the 1st lease cycle was up. You were wrong to assume it. You did not have any legal right to do what you did. Our lease was NOT WITH YOU.

You repeatedly lied to us about the legal lease holder being "still on board". You pretended that you were paying rents in his name and acting on his behalf.

I wont go as far as to mention the details incident in March - the "Party" that you hosted...if you can call it that...that I called you on. That was beyond belief and if you think for one second I believed your "I didn't know what it was about" story, you are deluded. You sat in the house the whole time. You knew EXACTLY what was going on. Another prime example of your lack of regard for people and the neighborhoods in which they live, the safety of their kids and homes and common sense. YOU ARE A STREET SMART AND SAVVY PERSON WHO WILL MAKE A BUCK ANY WAY YOU CAN.

So I ask you in turn; Why did you take money for a lease that did not belong to you? Why did you deposit it into your accounts if the legal lease holder was "still on board"? Why did you transfer all documents into you name? Why did you conceal from us the truth; that the legal lease holder WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU after working with you for a brief period of time and HAD NO INTENTION of resigning any lease again? Why did you not give people back their deposits? Why did you take monies and deposits for periods of time after the lease ended and deposit them onto your account? Why do you have a proven HISTORY of doing this exact SAME THING with other properties?

There is so much that YOU are not aware of in regards to this situation. There is ALOT that we know that you are not aware of, the MAJORITY of which has not come out here. You don't know anything of the people we helped who lost money, the things that we did to set situations right where we could. We didn't take anything from you, but legally settled EVERYTHING with the legal lease holder. EVERYTHING, Kris. We have documents to back it all up. The legal lease holder has been FULLY satisfied in EVERY way we could, including the return of deposits, etc. He doesn't have a language barrier. He understands EVERYTHING and is a very smart man.

Bottom line; YOU LIED. YOU ARE A LIAR. You did everything you could to try and conceal from us the truth. You have a HISTORY of doing this over the years, always with a sob story about why you cant give people their money back. The proof is in the other posts on the web, dating back to 2007, SOME of which I have posted here. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Period. You are accomplished at this and it is how, among other things, you have made your living. Your game is coming to an end. FACTS ARE FACTS. Anyone with half a brain an see the truth no matter how you try to water it down with your ###.

This is the last post or response I will every make, so I'll end it here. I don't want to continue this negative and non-productive game. So here is the truth. I am going to try and help you out here:

You need to get your ### together, GET INTO A PROGRAM and WORK THAT PROGRAM and then stop blaming everyone else for the messes you made. You need to get a regular little simple job somewhere and make an honest living. You can then begin to re-build your broken life.

I am sorry for you as a human being. I was never anything but kind to you. I more than fufilled my duty as landlord. I went WAY above and beyond to help you with clients when you didn't have transportation, or were off doing whatever you were doing. I tried to help in every way I could. I know that. You, in your heart of hearts KNOW THAT. It doesn't matter how much you try and convince yourself and everyone else who may read this otherwise. The part of you that is still a good person - and I know that person is in there - KNOWS THE TRUTH.

Kris, your life is a mess and you made that mess. But guess what? You CAN fix it. Stop lying to yourself and twisting things around so that you feel better about yourself. Get honest with yourself. Get into a program. Get a sponsor. Get your life back. I do not wish anything bad for you, but I wish that you would take the long hard road back to sober and sane so that you can find yourself and your life again. Its not easy, but it is worth it. You CAN be happy and sane again if you have the courage to do what must be done.

"Hello to everyone who uses this site as a tool to find the true criminals and scam artist. My name is Angela and I am here to set the record straight in regards to the property owners, Dickson and Erica Gil of the Jungle Beach Estate 2725 Thurman Ave las Vegas, NV 89120. As I read the the [redacted] that was created under my name by a Kris Greven a.ka. Freedman who is the actual scam artist. My heart truly ached, this women Kris took advantage of me as I was planning a huge 40th birthday party for myself. I have been planning for one year and Kris knew how eager I was to throw a big bash. When I first spoke to Kris on the phone she stated that she was the owner of the property and I could rent it out for two days. I first needed to put 300.00 down and I would pay the rest at a later date. Well at a later date was not sufficient enough for her. She told me that if I did not come up with all the money in two days that I could forget about renting the place. Well i gathered the money very quickly because the venue was such a perfect place to hold a party. So I gave her a check for 1, 500 in addition to the three already.

We met at a starbucks which i didn't think anything of it at first and gave her my payment and she gave me some bogus card with her name and the total amount i gave her on it. So i thought everything was on the up and up, as she proceeded to get in her ford black F-150 with NO license plate, i started to get suspicious. I goolged her name and omg that's when I found out that she has been scamming folks for a long time. By this time my party is near and she calls two days before my party and says that i cant have a party. i was sick to my stomach, i told her that I will be pressing charges and i will get my money back.

The next day I contacted Erica to see if there was anything she could do to help me, and true enough there was something her and lovely husband could do for me, i had my party. the party was awesome, the yard and the decorations were fabulous and to top it off Mr. Dicksion himself even bar-b-qued for me. So inspite of what was written to discredit these people it is all a lie. Erica and Dicksion went out of their way for me, I have never met such honest and family oriented people like these two. People are still talking about my party til this day. My co-workers enjoyed themselves and the beautiful home that others are wanting to book the JUNGLE BEACH ESTATE for future events. So please if anyone reads this you may e-mail me i will answer any questions you have for me and i can vouch for Dicksion and Erica Gil they are not scammers in the least bit. Please if any one is looking for a great fun place to stay then by all means contact the owners. i have pics and testimonies of guests that attended. Thank you for reading.

Sincerely, Angela"
