Imagine, you did a bit of digging and found a charming vacation rental in a central location that will let you enjoy the local culture, and even for a decent bargain.
You speak to the "landlord" via phone/email, and wire them a deposit to reserve it for your stay. You travel out to your destination, only to find that the place you rented is someone's home, and is definitely occupied.
You booked this vacation months ago and everything was set, but now your money and the scammer are long gone. How will you
find the perpetrator, get back your money, and now where are you going to stay?

Most people believe that they're immune to the fraudsters trying to profit from rental homes, condos, apartments and vacation spots.
|
Empty homes are a perfect target. Some scammers break in and change the locks, so that the real estate agent/owners will not be able to access it.
They hijack photos posted online and use them on ad sites to make legitimate looking rental ads, and show the space to respondents as if they were the agent or landlord.
People move in, and they collect deposit and rent money. This could go on for a long time if nobody checks in on the home.
Some con artists prefer to squat in the home and use it to take in "application fees" or "deposits" from unassuming rental seekers, then vanish.
