She Reported Her Roommate’s Girlfriend For Business Fraud After Her Address Was Listed For A New LLC
This 23-year-old woman currently lives with three roommates– two men and one woman. And one of her male roommates, Devin, has a 22-year-old girlfriend named Destiny, who is not on their lease.
Yet, just a few days ago, she received a letter addressed to an LLC that also happened to have “Destiny” in the company name. This prompted her to jump on Google to research the LLC, and she discovered that her roommate’s girlfriend had opened a new online business.
Then, she decided to look up the LLC’s business records and made a shocking realization.
“I saw that Destiny used my address as her business address. Again, Destiny is not on the lease. This sounds like business fraud,” she said.
This made her extremely nervous that she would be evicted if her landlord ever found out. Plus, her current landlord apparently owns more than 80% of the long-term rental properties in her area.
So, if she and her roommates got evicted, they would all be blacklisted as renters and would be unable to find another rental to live in.
To her knowledge, Destiny did not ask any of them– including Devin– if it was okay to use their address, either. That’s why she decided to confront her roommate’s girlfriend with the news, and she apparently caught Destiny pretty off guard.
“Destiny seemed very surprised that I found out,” she revealed.
“Destiny thought business information was private, so we could never know. But while some records are private, the person who started the LLC and the addresses used are public information.”

Speaking of the LLC’s listed addresses, she even realized that there were two different zip codes listed– both of which were wrong.
The first zip code was one number off from her city; meanwhile, the second zip code was just completely wrong.
So, the incorrect zip codes only set off more alarm bells in her head.
But while talking to her roommate’s girlfriend, Destiny claimed to have only used their home as a temporary address since Destiny apparently planned to move and wanted to file prior to the end of the month for tax purposes.
“However, based on Destiny’s reaction, I can’t help but wonder if she was planning on using the address permanently and is only going to change it because I found out,” she explained.
“Destiny said she changed the address today.”
Still, her other roommates are not okay with Destiny using their address for the business, either. But, right now, Devin and Destiny have been away on vacation– so she has only communicated with them via text.
So, once they return from their trip, she intends to have a conversation with them in person as soon as possible. In the meantime, she decided to file a report with the Secretary of the State Department regarding the false address.
Plus, she even reached out to her landlord to alert him of what happened and fill him in on what action she took to protect herself and her roommates.
She has not yet told her roommate or Destiny about this, though. Instead, she has saved all of the evidence and documents for when they speak in person.
She admitted to knowing that Destiny was a nice girl, too, who might not have had ill intentions. In fact, she thinks Destiny is a sweet girl who might not have even realized that it was a business fraud.
“But I need to protect myself and my roommates from possible legal action. None of us have money for legal counsel,” she reasoned.
“Destiny is either completely oblivious, or something is shady.”
And since she really isn’t sure about Destiny’s true intentions, she’s been left wondering whether reporting her roommate’s girlfriend for business fraud was the wrong thing to do or not.
Even if Destiny made an honest mistake, were she and her roommates still put in jeopardy? Do you think she did the right thing by protecting herself and her housing? What would you have done had you been in her shoes?
