Scam & Fraud InformationWe greatly appreciate the trust you give us in helping you with your rental needs. We have had many success stories of individuals using our service, but occasionally we hear reports of people attempting to defraud our users.There are many known scams, and new ones are invented every day. Below is a list of common scams (or "pitches"), click the links for a detailed description plus some tips on how to avoid being caught in one! Please take a moment to familiarize yourself the some of the various scam & fraud concepts below: The Overseas LandlordThese landlords want to only communicate via email (again, the language, grammar and spelling in their emails is terrible.) Usually the price on their listing is extremely low for the market - or sometimes free! The story they tell you is that they were suddenly transferred (again, usually to the UK or Africa) and they want someone to care for their home until they return. The catch? The keys to the property are still in their possession (overseas) and there is no one locally who can show you the property in their absence.They encourage you to drive by and if you are interested, they have you fill out a rental agreement via email, sending a deposit (express mail a money order or cashier's check, or wire transfer money via Western Union or MoneyGram). Once the funds have been received, they will then send you the keys. Once that has been done, the Overseas Landlord has your money - but the keys to the property never arrive. Disclaimer: |
