KY AG: Don't let rental scams ruin your big move Images of couple's home stolen, posted online by scammer to lure in rental victims. According to the victim, the fraud has left her family anxious because renters have been invading her property for weeks after being told by the scammer to send him rent and a security deposit. Click on headline for complete story By Terry Sebastian or Crystal Staley News from the Kentucky Attorney General's Office FRANKFORT, KY - (2 Aug 2018) - According to Attorney General Andy Beshear, renting a luxury log cabin on 10 acres in Fayette County for less than $750 a month is likely too good to be true. A new scam alert was issued Thursday after Beshear's Office of Consumer Protection became involved in efforts to stop an online Craigslist's rental scam. Beshear said a Fayette County couple working with a reputable real estate broker to list their home for sale online had their home's images stolen and used by a scammer who posted a fraudulent rental ad on Craigslist. According to the victim, the fraud has left her family anxious because renters have been invading her property for weeks after being told by the scammer to send him rent and a security deposit. "My office refuses to let con artists steal from Kentucky families who are working hard to make ends meet and pay the rent," said Beshear. "Thankfully, in this case a reporter reached out to us about the owner's situation, we were able to help the homeowner get the fraudulent ad removed from Craigslist and prevent other hopeful renters from handing over their money to a con artist." Beshear said rental property scams heighten around the start of college when some students are rushing to find a place to live and are more likely to be scammed because of their haste. He said since property scammers usually try to continue their crime by stealing more photos and posting new ads, owners of real property should follow these steps if they find their property is being fraudulently rented online:
Beshear recommends all Kentuckians stay ahead of scammers by signing up for his office's Scam Alerts. To enroll text the words KYOAG Scam to 502-468-311. This story was posted on 2018-08-06 05:56:50
