College students, Don’t fall victim to subletting scams
If you are planning to sublet your apartment for
the summer, be mindful of a new type of scam
that is on the rise. Scammers pose as interested
subletters, sending you a bogus check or money
order. They request that you negotiate the item,
then wire a certain portion of the money back to
them. When the check eventually bounces, you
lose the entire amount the check was written for
from your account. Students have lost thousands
of dollars this way.
