MyIntroducer.com | News | Illegal Scraping sites target UK tenants
Illegal lettings websites are targeting UK consumers and defrauding them of thousands of pounds according to the Association of Residential Letting Agents.
Foreign criminals have been using copies of UK lettings' sites - a process known as "scraping" - to persuade consumers to part with their deposits. The websites are highly professional in appearance and use industry logos to convince overseas tenants of their legitimacy.
Ian Potter, Operations Manager at ARLA, warned:
"Tenants must double check the validity of the websites they are using by checking websites such as ARLA and then contact the agent on the details listed there if they have any doubts at all.
"Unfortunately, criminals who are operating from abroad can misappropriate company brands and industry logos to convince consumers that they are dealing with a legitimate lettings organisation."
