AG Jackson and North Carolina Real Estate Commission Chair William Aceto are warning North Carolinians to be careful when searching for rental housing online. Scammers are creating fake listings, impersonating landlords or property owners, and stealing money from people trying to rent a home or apartment. 

“Scammers use fake listings and pressure tactics to push prospective renters to act quickly. If you feel rushed or something seems too good to be true, listen to that instinct. Take time to verify the details before sending any money.”  -AG Jackson
