Recent chatter points to a classic rental‑and‑sale scam funneling through email and text. Scammers post ads, then reply with a polished but generic pitch, often copying the same address across multiple listings. Victims typically share personal details like email or phone numbers, opening the door to further phishing attempts. Protect your inbox by never replying to unknown addresses, and verify any prospective renter or buyer through a separate channel. Use a disposable email for classifieds, and flag suspicious messages for your email provider. If you suspect fraud, report it to the platform and consider a credit freeze.
