Fake Landlord Fraud Prevention 假房東詐騙防治

Fengshou Police Station reminds:

Common scam in renting: "You could pay first to have priority in viewing the house. " Paying first to get the priority in viewing the house? That's a scam! Do you know the common scam tactics? A college student saw an ideal house on a rental website. When contacting the landlord for a viewing, the landlord claimed the house was in high demand and requested "a deposit of $25,000 in advance to prioritize viewing." After the student sent the money, the landlord made a lot of excuses. Became unreachable on messaging apps, and without the landlord's real name and actual address, the victim had no way to seek redress.

Key to preventing scams: Any request for "payment" upfront is highly suspicious!

Do not pay anything before actually seeing the house!

It's very important!!!! So, we have to emphasize it multiple times!!!!

For any fraud-related inquiries, we suggest calling the 165 Anti-Fraud Consultation Hotline for advice.
