[Alert] Scammers Impersonating Agents on Property Portals with Fake Listings
We would like to caution you about a new type of scam, where scammers impersonate property agents and ask for deposits to secure viewings.
These scammers would create accounts using fake identity cards from CEA and then upload fake listings on property portals.
When contacted by a prospective tenant, they would ask for a deposit before any property viewings and be uncontactable after receiving the deposit.
To protect the interests of the agent community and deter these scammers, PropertyGuru have disabled all trial account sign-ups with immediate effect. In addition, we will also take extra measures by implementing more stringent checks to verify all new account sign-ups.
If you might’ve encountered a similar situation like the above, please report to us immediately through your Account Managers or call our Customer Service at 6238 5971.
