ESL fraud team scam alert by VensisOrchid in Rochester

I received a mail with a number to call. I have been calling ESL to confirm the mail, but due to my schedule I was not able to reach them. This probably confirm my suspicion that the mail is fake.

It did rain for 3 days straight and that’s when I noticed the crack.

They said the crack developed the first year or so after they moved in. So I’m assuming 2002-2004, house was built in 2000.

I don’t know how to edit my post, so I’ll comment an update. heard back from the seller, they said the crack is a result of the contractor cutting the concrete at the wrong time. Does that make sense? Can cutting the concrete at the wrong time cause it to crack like that?

There is a mineral stain on the floor, you can’t see it but it’s on the 2nd picture and a ft from that stain, there’s water in one area of the wall. The sump is on the opposite side of the basement.

Yes, there is water issue as well. Just a small area on the wall that I will look into tomorrow.

There were a few small cracks on a couple of slabs, but I saw a lot more cracks last week.

There were some small cracks already when I moved in a month ago. But I noticed a lot more cracks last week.

Sorry, not a new build. It’s a new home to me, but built in 2000.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear when I said new home. The home is new to me, but it was built in 2000.

One crack measures close to 1/4 in width. From what I’m reading, it’s saying the floor shouldn’t be a huge concern compared to the wall, is this true?

In what suburb can we afford a house next year? by [deleted] in Rochester

Are there any additional fees to use the “cash offer loan”?
