Beware of Rental Scams
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre issued a public advisory warning consumers of criminals creating phony long, short and vacation rental online classifieds.
The fraudsters lure victims to provide financial information and/or deposits in exchange for property viewings, keys and booking confirmations.
We have seen a number of these popping in our area and it is disconcerting to say the least. If you are considering transacting a rental agreement online, protect yourself by reading this bulletin first.
