DENVER (KDVR) It started off innocently enough it could’ve been an honest mistake. But after dozens of people have shown up at his house unannounced, a Denver man said a scam that he’s an unintended victim of is starting to get scary.

affiliate KDVR has kept his identity anonymous out of his concerns for safety.

“This started about six months ago when I moved into the house,” he said.

At first, he didn’t think anything of it. A stranger showed up at the door of his new house in Green Valley Ranch asking about a PlayStation 5.

“He’s like, ‘Do you have the PlayStation 5?’ I told him ‘I don’t have no PlayStation 5, you got scammed,'” he said.

He said that person went away without incident. But they weren’t the last.

“Probably about, like, 30 times,” he said.

Thirty more incidents, a few he’s been able to capture on camera. The man said his home was vacant before he moved in, and believes a scammer was telling people the address after taking their money online.

Not every interaction has been friendly.

“Sometimes they come very aggressive,” he said.

The man said that some have raised their voices, sworn at him or even made threats.

“I get paranoid, especially when they walk away because I don’t know if they’re going to come back around and do damage to my house, try to get in, or I don’t know if they have weapons,” he said.

And he’s getting scared to leave his wife and child home while he’s at work.

“I don’t feel safe leaving them alone at the house sometimes, knowing that there’s people, random people coming to the house constantly,” the man said.

He’s contacted police about the situation and hopes they’re able to help, but in the meantime, he’s asking people to think before making a purchase online.

“I’d like for people to be smart. Especially not buying things off Marketplace or anywhere else and not knowing or not seeing the item,” he said.

Denver police suggest that when buying things online, never give money to someone you don’t know without meeting in person, which they suggest doing in a neutral, public location.
