Does it sound too good to be true? It probably is π‘
Canterbury Police are reminding the community to be vigilant when it comes to rental scams. 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:
π Never transfer money to an individual or organisation that you can't verify as legitimate.
π 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.
π 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.
π Trust your instincts, if it sounds like a scam, it probably is.
