PINCHER CREEK, AB – Renters in Southern Alberta are asked to be cautious.
Pincher Creek RCMP says they have received complaints of fraud in relation to rental properties in the community.
It is alleged that someone is listing properties for rent online and asking prospective tenants for deposits.
“However, none of the properties are owned by the fraudster and are in fact, not rental properties at all,” reads a media release from Pincher Creek RCMP. “This results in victims losing the entire deposit and being without a residence.”
