Renters beware - phishing scam in Rossland

Heads up to people looking to rent a house: there was recent "phishing" attempt on somebody who had posted an ad on Kijiji looking for a house to rent In Rossland. The person was contacted via text and e-mail by someone claiming to have a house available to rent and sent them photos and the address. They said that they were located remotely and requested $1700. The house is one that is listed for sale on Property Guys, so the person called the number on that listing and discovered the house was actually not for rent.

The person was smart enough to realize the potential "landlord" was fishy and I just wanted you all to know about it and be aware!
