Too astute to be scammed? Think again. Few things adapt and evolve as quickly as the criminal mind. Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, keeping the miscreants one step ahead of the police, banks, and unsuspecting victims. Not even the housing rental market is immune to criminal ingenuity, as crooks impersonate legitimate rental agents and property companies to scam tens of thousands of rands from people desperate for accommodation. Increasingly frustrated estate agents are tearing their hair out while the police and other enforcement agencies appear powerless to intervene. Carte Blanche shows you how easy it is to be duped and what you can do to protect yourself.

All rental agents should put their banking details on all their board/ letterheads. The public can then use this as a digital signature to verify an agent is authentic.

One thing all scammers have in common is bad grammar and terrible spelling, also shown in the segment. Those are your first red flags.

I would like to see Carte blanche do a story on SA Post Office who fell into rental arrears with so many landlords. SA post office knew they could not pay rent anymore, so they kept lying to landlords, promising payment, just to end up closing the branches in terrible condition for the landlords to do the repairs. Something very fishy about the whole situation.
