As part of Consumer Protection Week, Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has been offering tips to protect yourself. His latest is about rental listing scams . While many landlords are simply looking to rent their property, scam artists can also use false Internet listings to convince renters to wire them money or to rent out foreclosed properties. In some cases, the scammer may even ask potential renters to fill out a rental application to gain access to personal and financial information. In the end, the scammer posing as the landlord or property manager never provides keys to the property, and disappears with the victim’s money and personal information. Sometimes they even provide keys to homes that aren’t there’s to rent. If the price is just too good, be skeptical and do your homework before handing over anything.
