Property Scams

Property Buyers and Renters Told to Beware

OXFORD COUNTY - Oxford OPP are warning residents about property scams in the area. 

According to officials, fraudsters look online for potential property renters and contact them through email with information on a rental property.  
 
The property that was used in this case was property that is currently for sale and was then fraudulently posted on kijiji as a rental which it is not.   The fraudsters have shown their willingness to invest time and locate properties that have been listed for sale and make it appear as though the property is available to rent to the unsuspecting victims in order to gain their trust and steal their money. 
 
OPP suggest you be suspicious and always get verifiable qualifications when dealing with anyone over the internet and never, under any circumstances, send money for any reason.
