ShareThisRental Scam!
The rental market has been very hot over the past couple of years. This has created a lot of opportunity for rental scammers. Some potential renters are now more aware of scams, but because scams have gotten more sophisticated, most are not sure they know how to avoid them. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) recently put out an alert for online rental scams. According to the BBB, rental scammers will copy the information from a valid online listing and post it onto another site. The scammers will then send you information to fill out and ask you for money. Once they have your cash, they move onto the next victim.
I’ve had several of my rental listings posted on other online sites with different rental prices. Always make sure you are dealing directly with the owner of the property or the listing agent. If you have a rental property that you are not sure if its a scam, contact me with the information and I will do some research for you.
