I have run into a rental scam - I wanted to rent a place, saw an ad for a wonderful property at a low rate. The "landlord" also wanted someone to do financial processing for their "company" - receive checks, distribute money. I knew it was a scam. This was years ago.
Thanks to the two ladies who shared their stories. I haven’t heard of this type of scam in Germany but I’m sure it’s also done here. It’s always good to know what’s going on in scam land.
Gosh, I was so hoping these people wouldn’t have fallen for these scams! I have gotten quite a few of them on Facebook! They want you to call them and want information from you or want you to drive by and see the outside and my scammers claim they are pastors and honest people! Ugh 😩
I've seen these and thankfully never fell for them but it's so heartbreaking. Especially when you're desperate to find a place.... It's just horrendous, what some people will do to those who are in desperate situations...
Paying rent via gift cards is a red flag.

God bless and thank you for EVERYTHING you do for us!! Love you William and Ann!!
Something similar happened to a coworker and I told her never send money if you've never seen the place
When it sounds too good to be true.......
Thx for sharing
Procéding to payment without MEETING ANYBODY. That's foolish.
Always wait to meet and see papers in reality before doing anything.
Very useful information thanks 😊

Thank you for these❤
OMG scammers are always widows and seem to have issues with cancer 😒
This is so sad......
No way I would have pay before we have met
Iv seen this before a family pull up someone took ur money but keys don’t work and now the money is gone ur outside w all ur things no money
Damn she took to long to get that key
No they use empty homes 🏡 they know which are empty by the listings
Its telling that scammers in rental scams pretend to be middle aged women. They know that's a demographic people would feel safe trusting site unseen.
Well thats a new rwist!!! But anything dealing with gift cards is a dead givaway!!! 💯❗️🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Anybody ask for any kind of gift cards no matter what they are they're going to be a scam or do not do it
Anybody wants gift cards especially Apple gift cards is a scammer
I don't understand how she just didn't cash the check to make sure it cleared first before being out 2k plus
A few people had driven past, Oh no! How much did they make!?!
