Someone using my rental property listing to scam renters
Just listed my property the other day and had some showings but a bunch of people have come due to someone posting my property through Facebook marketplace and Craigslist which I wasn’t using. Telling them they aren’t in town and to look the windows if they want to see it or someone told themsomeone would be there in their place (I was there). Luckily I had caught a lot people and told them what was going on but I don’t want people to fall for this when I’m not there. What can I do about this? Looks like they’ve taken them down now because one person called them out. Could I be in any trouble if someone does fall for it and gives this person a deposit?
