An Garda Síochána are warning house hunters of a scam involving WhatsApp and rental sites, like Daft.ie.
According to Independent.ie, Daft.ie have reported a number of incidents involving a gang who are taking advantage of people in search of rented accommodation online. The gang managed to gain access to adverts on Daft and alter them in an attempt to extort money from house hunters.
