Avoid Rental Scams Trying to Steal Your Money

If you are looking for a rental property, be sure to ask a lot of questions before you give anyone your money.

One of the agents in my office, Brad Elsner, has run across scams targeting renters. The scammers have pulled the information about Brad’s listings off the internet, put together ads on craigslist and asked renters to mail them checks in return for keys.

Watch the Channel 5 TV news interview with Brad about the scam.

Brad offers good advice.

The best way to avoid becoming a victim of a scam is to ask a lot of questions. And if the request for money is coming from Nigeria, think twice before writing a check.
