Beware: Property Management Scam Still In Circulation
| September 05, 2024
The Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) is again warning property management brokerages about a fraudulent email that has been circulating to tenants. RECA originally warned about this scam in February. The scam email claims the payment information for the tenant’s monthly rent payment has changed and lists false information on where future payments should be sent via e-transfer. It also directs recipients to a falsified email address for any questions or concerns.
Please advise your tenants that this scam remains in circulation and that any changes in rent payment information should always be confirmed by your brokerage before being processed. If you or your tenants are sent this email, protect yourselves and contact police on the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 to notify them. Please do not contact the fraudsters directly.
