⚠️ STOP scrolling if you’re apartment hunting in Fayetteville!
Rental scammers are scraping real estate photos and reposting them at bargain prices to steal your deposit.
Protect your wallet with these 3 non-negotiables:
🚫 NO money before keys: Never Zelle, CashApp, or wire funds for a "holding fee" or "application code" before an in-person tour.
🚫 NO keys in the mail: Legitimate landlords have local property managers or secure self-tour locks—they don't "mail keys after wire transfer."
🚫 NO blind faith in bargain rent: A luxury 3-bed for studio pricing is bait, not a deal.
