Unfortunately, this not a new scam and targets victims through different platforms.
In all instances, the scammers are posing as legitimate landlords or real estate agents. When looking for a rental, make sure an advertised property is legitimate by attending a viewing.
Before giving people money or making an agreement, it is essential you consider:
🏠 Never transfer money to an individual or organisation that you can't verify as legitimate.
🏠 A legitimate landlord or real estate agent will have a website, generally a physical address, and you should be able to speak to more than one person from that organisation.
🏠 If you believe you are being currently targeted by a scam that sounds like this, please end contact immediately and get in touch with Police.
🏠 Trust your instincts, if it sounds like a scam, it probably is.
🏠 For further information of how to keep safe online, or to report suspected scams, please go to netsafe.org.nz...
