Found a beautiful property that’s half the price of a similar listing that “just needs a deposit to hold?” Scammers copy real photos from sites like Zillow and ask for payments before tours.

Protect yourself when looking for a new place. Remember these tips:

  • Never send money before seeing the property.

  • Verify the listing and the landlord.

  • Be cautious of listings that seem too good to be true.
