Experts warn: a new housing rental fraud scheme has emerged

A person sees an apartment with high-quality renovation, which is offered to rent at a very favorable price, much cheaper than the market average. The owner of the apartment explains the low price by the need to rent out the property quickly and assures that the apartment matches the description. However, the potential tenant cannot inspect the property. The scammer refuses, explaining that there are a large number of applicants. He offers to pay a deposit to book your viewing time. A person who is interested in a quality apartment at a good price agrees and loses his money. The scammer receives the money transfer and stops communication. After this, the fake ad is removed from the site.
