CASASAPO warns all users of this growing fraudulent activity, mostly generated through the insertion of online ads, in the real estate industry, as fake rental properties. Although the Portal follows all good market practices, there is no way to guarantee the authenticity of the advertiser. It is recommended to Users to never provide personal data or transfer monetary values in the form of a deposit, guarantee or advance, without first making sure that the professional is properly identified. What is the most common fraud? Among the various scams that can be committed, the most common is a request for a guarantee deposit to reserve or visit the property for rent, usually with the combination of characteristics that are out of the "normal" in the market, which should make you suspicious:
What makes these scams successful is the fact that they seem to meet the wishes or needs of the recipients. However, if it looks too good, you should always be suspicious to avoid unpleasant situations.
