Rental Scam Alert:
A resident was contacted by a Facebook company about renting a property here in the county and was asked to pay an applicaiton fee. It was a scam and thankfully the potential victim realized it before losing any money.
1- Always check business credentials. A 6 day old Facebook account with international followers is not a good sign.
2- If they ask for payment in crypto, gift cards, or any other suspicious manner, its a scam.
3- Absentee landlords and anyone that refuses to meet, its a scam.
