The WPD has received three calls on a Rental House Scam. The Scammer is posting a house "for rent" on Craigslist that they do not own or have no control over. The houses are actually "for sale" on other sites and the suspect will take the images and information for their post. The suspect will then try to illicit money or personal information from the victim.

Please see the attached Scam Alert flyer for more information and tips on avoiding this scam.
