BEWARE OF SCAM TARGETING PEOPLE ADVERTISING RENTALS

Please be alert for email scams where the email is not specifically addressed to you and is from a correspondent who says he/she wants to rent something he/she doesn’t describe, at unspecified dates, sight unseen, and is eager to pay in advance. Particularly beware of advance payment by cashier checks and money orders as these frequently turn out to be stolen.
