The RCMP is warning about possible online residential rental scams.
Fraudsters are copying legitimate advertisements for rentals in PEI and posting them on websites with added photos giving the impression they are legitimately involved with these properties. They will always request some kind of an e-transfer or online transfer of funds to secure the property.
The scammers falsely use legitimate rentals around the province as part of their on-line presence to make them more convincing.

Property buyers and renters should always confirm the identity of the person offering the transaction.
