AIB is warning people about a new rental scam where criminals pose as landlords on legitimate letting websites and ask for deposit payments to secure a property viewing that doesn’t actually exist, or is unavailable to rent…

The viewing is linked to a fake or compromised online property listing where the customer is directed to enter card or online details to authorise the payment.

What can renters do to prevent being scammed? Shane is joined by Cat Clarke, Campaigns Officer with Threshold to discuss.
