Check/Overpayment Scams

Scammers copy legitimate home or apartment listings and advertise the property as their own, usually at an attractive price. They request an application fee, security deposit, or first month's rent before allowing the victim to see the property.

Tips: Don't send a deposit before verifying the property and the person authorized to rent it. Search the address online to see whether it appears under different names or prices. Be cautious of landlords who claim they cannot meet you in person.
