This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My family has listed a rental property on Craigslist, under Los Angeles County.
We have received several calls at our listed telephone number by a robocaller for TopDogListing.com. Specifically, at least 3 three calls have come in from [protected] (Florida!), providing a call back number of [protected].

This number is for Top Dog Leasing in either Long Beach or Laguna Beach, California (both addresses are at mail box drop centers.)

I called that number immediately after receiving one of those robocalls. I spoke with a man who identified himself as Ron Hubbard. I asked him where he learned about our rental house listing and he responded: "CraigsList". He told me to "get a life" and hung up on me when I challenged him on the source of the listing and mentioned we are on the DNC list.

According to Craigslist's terms of service, no commercial use by third parties is to be made of information listed on their site.

We briefly researched this company. Hubbard's real estate license has been revoked by the California Dept. of Real Estate. His web site utilizes official Realtor agreements and contracts, none of which he is entitled to use. In fact, it is a criminal offense to hold ones' self out as a licensed agent if not licensed. He does not and cannot have a broker holding his license. I called an agent in Fountain Valley listed in the California Dept of Real Estate as "Topdog Leasing" (DRE license number [protected]) available on their on-line records system. He said that for a very brief period of time there was a business association, which was severed when Hubbard's business ethics (or lack thereof) became obvious.

I recently received a call from a male claiming to work for Go Fast Leasing and was interested in my rental...I began to question him and asked for a real estate ID # which did not exist . This guy backed off when I searched his phone number and realized it was relocating to a different cell number, needless to say he stopped calling as soon as I addressed this fraud . A month later I received another call on a property I posted on Craigslist but this time I said hay Ron where have you been remember me you helped us about four yrs ago rent my mothers condo and the tentant are still there ! Busted, he responded really where was the condo I was working back than for another company that went under and he was glad to here that we had the same tenants...The guy is so wrong and a big con job so Beware off a phone call from a male con job!

Law enforcement needs to be called ASAP! He is breaking the law. His license was revoked years ago.

Ron Hubbard does not have a Real Estate license. It was REVOKED BY STATE OF CA. He is breaking the law.

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN! RUN RUN RUN!

We have received several calls at our listed telephone number by a robocaller for TopDogListing.com. Specifically, at least 3 three calls have come in from [protected] (Florida!), providing a call back number of 800.9135420. (also 800.913.5420 and [protected]). Changes in punctuation have been made by Hubbard to avoid indexing by web spiders.

This number is for Top Dog Leasing in either Long Beach or Laguna Beach, California (both addresses are at mail box drop centers.)
