9 hours agoLatest NewsComments Off on I turned up to my new home & a stranger answered the door – brazen tricks of fake landlords scamming renters for £1,000s
SHAMELESS scammers are hiring out Airbnbs to pose as estate agents and landlords, before swindling desperate Brits out of thousands of pounds.

Only one property is available for every eight tenants looking, which has led to a desperate rental market[/caption]
New Channel 4 documentary UNTOLD: The £12 Million Rental Scam found the criminals are using websites like Facebook Marketplace and Open Rent to target potential victims.
And with only one property available for every eight tenants looking, renters are desperate, making them easy pickings for the scammers.
With half of under-35s renting from private landlords, the number of tenants is the highest it’s been since the millennium.
Reporter Harleen Nottay, herself a previous victim of a rental scam, says: “Criminals are posting what looks like genuine property ads online. But once hopeful renters pay up, they’re ghosted and left with nowhere to live.”
As a student Harleen found a rental property on Gumtree and the ‘landlord’ asked her to pay a £1,000 deposit.
Desperate she paid up, but the minute they got the cash she was ghosted and never saw the keys.
Harleen thought she had just been unlucky but her investigations revealed crimes like this are on the rise with nearly 100 reports made to the police each week.
That’s a jaw-dropping 345 per cent increase in the last decade.
And she believes the fact that people are often ashamed to admit they have been scammed could mean the figures are even higher.
“You are literally walking through a minefield, it is a really tough climate out there,” she says. “It is just such a shame that we are at the point in this country where fraud has got to such a level and it is really hard for people to keep themselves safe.
“Rental fraud is massive. The fact that 40 per cent of all crime in England and Wales right now is fraud is incredible, but even that doesn’t give a true picture as many people don’t even report scams to law enforcement.
“I think we have an epidemic on our hands in this country.
“I think people can be embarrassed to report it, which is why I speak so openly and candidly at being scammed in the past myself.
“I really don’t think there is a place for shame when it comes to any victim of any crime. We don’t sit there and beat ourselves up if somebody comes in and robs our house.
“Why are we doing that when a sophisticated professional who knows exactly what they are doing and the language that works is swindling you?”
Fleeced for £8k
An explosion of social media platforms and online rental forums means it is easy for scammers to hunt out potential victims.
One victim of a rental scam like this is Anna, 26, who was swindled out of thousands in an elaborate scam via Open Rent in London.
A criminal posing as an estate agent had ripped property images from an Airbnb listing, which the fake estate agent then rented out himself to hold fake viewings.
He took six months’ rent upfront to secure the property – something that has become standard practice amongst a desperate renting community – and subsequently disappeared, leaving Anna £8,100 out of pocket.

It was only when they went to the property to try to collect the keys to move in that Anna and her partner realised they had been scammed.
“I went to the property and I knocked on the door,” she recalls. “And the guy who answered told me that it was actually an Airbnb, and he had been renting it for the next five days.
“The whole property wasn’t available for rent. It was just an Airbnb that had been hired. I just had this sinking feeling of dread.”
Anna was totally shocked as the whole process had seemed completely professional and above board.
She says: “I’ve signed for properties in the past with less thorough processes. Having a man there who was suited and booted to come and greet us when we did the viewing was normal.
“It was a fake estate agent, fake contracts, a fake website. I just felt so deceived and a loss of hope in the system.”
She reported it to Action Fraud – the national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre – but they did not take her case forward.
Of more than 5,000 rental fraud cases reported to Action Fraud last year, only 67 were brought forward for charges – around 1 per cent of cases.
Luckily Anna had enough documentation to support her case that her bank refunded her the money – but the whole experience left her shattered.
“It wasn’t even about the money in the end,” she says. “Somebody denying you your home, shelter. It was like the theft of your autonomy, your safety and your freedom.”
Harleen adds: “Anna is a very switched-on, intelligent young lady. What happened to her would have happened to me, would have happened to anybody.
“She did all the checks and all the due diligence. She had viewed the property herself, she had proper contracts, it all seemed above board and legitimate.”
Generation rent
Channel 4’s investigation found one of the most prolific websites for scammers is Facebook Marketplace, with new data from Santander revealing the site makes up almost half of all rental scam claims made to the bank in the past year.
Exclusive research carried out for the programme by Generation Rent analysed hundreds of Facebook Marketplace ads across six UK cities – London, Birmingham, Manchester, Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh with some shocking results.
From those analysed, Birmingham had the highest proportion of scammers using false property listings (66 per cent).
Almost three-quarters (74 per cent) of the rentals investigated on Facebook Marketplace had at least one red flag of being a scam, according to Meta’s own guidance.
It was a fake estate agent, fake contracts, a fake website. I just felt so deceived and a loss of hope in the system
Anna
More than half of the listings (54 per cent) had pictures lifted from sites like Booking.com and Zoopla.
Tilly Smith, Campaigns and Partnerships Officer at Generation Rent, says: “The scale of how many scams that we found were shocking. There are thousands of these adverts going on to Facebook Marketplace.
“Companies like Meta as well as others, absolutely have a responsibility to keep renters protected.
“We know that moderation has a big impact on preventing scams so it’s definitely something they should be doing more on.”
Meta’s own policies state that they do not allow content that attempts to scam or defraud users.
To test this, Harleen posted images of the Shard as a 3-bedroom property to rent for a price of £550 per month – a clearly erroneous post.

Harleen posted a picture of the Shard online as a would-be rental, to see if it would get removed[/caption]
After waiting for action for over three weeks before removing it herself, Harleen says: “It’s clear that Meta isn’t doing enough to moderate its platform.
“It’s costing young tenants millions of pounds that they can’t afford to lose in today’s brutal cost of living crisis.
“Platforms need to stop offering criminals a direct line to vulnerable renters and Action Fraud and the police need to step up and make sure victims get the justice they deserve.”
Facebook owner Meta told the programme: “We are continually investing in protections against fraud on our platforms and work closely with law enforcement.
“We advise our community to report any scams immediately so we can take action.
“We continue to work closely with Stop Scams UK to help identify scams at the source.
“We also provide advice on how to protect yourself and your purchases whilst shopping on Facebook Marketplace.”
The Government’s new Renters’ Rights Bill was discussed in the House of Lords this week and looks to protect tenants by introducing an end to bidding wars on properties and a cap on advance front payments.
Harleen says: “Hopefully this will safeguard our rental tenants a bit more than they are currently.”

THERE are plenty of places to see around London and apparently the Elizabeth Line is one of them.
Bloomberg have revealed their 25 places to visit in 2025 and surprisingly, the Elizabeth Tube line made it onto the list, so here are the stops where The Sun Travel suggest you hop off and explore.
Little Venice is just a 10-minute walk away from the beautiful Little Venice canals[/caption]
The free-to-visit attraction Outernet is found outside Tottenham Court Road[/caption]
Paddington – Alice Penwill, Travel Reporter
The real Venice might be a two hour flight away, but there’s a smaller version right here in London.
Just a 10-minute walk from Paddington Station you’ll find the beautiful canals of Little Venice.
The waterways are lined with barges making for fab Instagram pictures, one of barges even doubles as a puppet theatre.
If you get hungry, the nautical-themed restaurant, The Summer House, offers an incredible seafood menu and beautiful views over Grand Union Canal.
Tottenham Court Road – Hope Brotherton, Travel Reporter
When you duck out of the tube on Tottenham Court Road, you’d be a fool to miss the Outernet.
The free-to-visit attraction is a cacophony of colourful immersive floor-to-ceiling screens that spill out onto the surrounding streets.
If you don’t have time to explore all four storeys, soak up the atmosphere in its entrance.
Farringdon – Caroline McGuire, Head of Travel (Digital)
Despite its position in the heart of space-strapped London, Farringdon is home to one of the world’s best nightclubs – Fabric.
In fact, the superclub venue was voted the world’s No.1 nightclub more than once.
Entering through the low-key industrial doors opposite the famous Smithfield Market always gets you excited for the night ahead – where you’ll be catching some of the world’s best drum n’ bass, techno or house music on one of their their three cavernous dance floors.
Several huge nightclubs have launched on the outskirts of the capital since Fabric launched in 1999 and many more have closed.
But if you’re looking for a great night out listening to some excellent music, this is still the place to be.
London Liverpool Street – Hope Brotherton, Travel Reporter
After living in Italy for a year, I am always on the hunt for tasty Italian grub. Forget supermarket knock-offs and naff plates of pasta and head to Eataly.
You can’t miss the huge Italian supermarket just outside of London Liverpool Street Station. In my mind, it’s an institution.
I spend hours wandering the floors for the perfect pasta shape but I never leave without a pack of Pan di Stelle – chocolate biscuits covered in tiny white stars that go perfectly with a morning espresso.
If you can’t be bothered to cook your own food, then stop at one of its many restaurants.

Whitechapel – Caroline McGuire, Head of Travel (Digital)
A short walk from Whitechapel tube station is Brick Lane, arguably the most famous ‘lane’ in London.
Running from Bethnal Green, through Spitalfields, all the way to Whitechapel High Street, it has been well-known for its lengthy stretch of curry houses for several decades.
But the road also houses some of the best nightlife in east London, including the club 93 Feet East, Ninety One Living Room and Montys.
Be sure to stop at one of the legendary 24-hour bagel shops before you head home too.
Or if you’re visiting during the day, check out the stalls in the Brick Lane Market and the Upmarket – the Brick Lane Food Hall.
Brick Lane in London’s East End is famous for amazing food, vintage fashion stalls and a great night out[/caption]
The Olympic Park near Stratford offers huge green places to visit in the summer[/caption]
Stratford – Alice Penwill, Travel Reporter
There are endless activities in Stratford, from shopping at the Westfield centre to swimming in the Olympic Park pool.
There are also gaming, sports bars, restaurants – everything you need to occupy yourself for hours.
But what I love around Stratford is all the green spaces. The River Lea offers boat hire, kayaking, and swan pedalos which are great fun in the summer with a group of friends.
And around the corner are the blossom gardens which in the spring are spectacular.
Created as a memorial, you can guarantee quiet in the blossom gardens, I love it as a place to unwind during a sunny afternoon.
Three more of our favourite UK destinations
Here are three of our favourite hidden gems across the UK...
Just outside of the city of Cambridge is the quaint village of Grantchester where you’ll find thatched cottages, and a medieval church. It’s also home to the Orchard Tea Garden, in thesummer, the tea garden opens up outside so you can enjoy a coffee and sweet treat on the grass in a deck chair.
In the Noughties, Loch Fyne restaurants were the epitome of high street restaurant chic, with their fancy seafood and champagne offerings. Now, the only one still open is the original Loch Fyne Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Argyll. We dined on the oysters, which are farmed from the loch, as well as a delicious Cullemn Skink soup, mussels and scallop arancini balls.
Another of our favourite and bizarre tourist attractions in the UK is Margate’s Shell Grotto. Just outside of the Old Town (meaning tourists often forget about it), the strange underground cave is made out of 4.6 million shells, which line its walls from floor to ceiling.
All of these places are just a short walk away from the Elizabeth Line stops[/caption]

DUNNES Stores fans are rushing to buy a new “high-shine” leather jacket for spring.
The Savida Black Faux Leather Jacket is available in stores and online now.
It is priced at €45 and comes in sizes XXS to XXL.
The retailer said: “Made from a high-shine faux leather, this cropped jacket from Savida is guaranteed to become a staple of your outerwear rotation.
“It features a classic collar, a zip-through design, and two welt pockets.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The jacket is a wardrobe staple and can be worn with everything from jeans to dresses.
Dunnes styled the dress with wide-leg jeans, heels and a grey top.
Meanwhile, shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a ‘viral suit’ – and all the major high street shops have released their own version.
The suits generally consist of a stretch long-sleeve top and stretch leggings.
A fashion blogger told how Penneys have dropped the look for a bargain €20.
Amy, who posts under @balancebyamy, took to Instagram to show off her casual outfit.
She said: “I just thought I’d quickly show you before I head off to work, this little two-piece I bought in Penneys yesterday.
“I have seen these going viral on TikTok in Dunnes and Zara.
“But in Dunnes Stores they are €40, and in Zara…
“I’m actually not sure how much they are, probably €50 or €60 or something.
“Penneys is €20.”
The TikToker explained there’s some slight difference in each high street design.
She said: “I think the cardigan is slightly different from Dunnes, but I just wanted it for casual wear.
“Now I am going to be wearing it in school.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

KYLE Walker’s wife Annie Kilner is set to follow in the footsteps of her fellow WAGs by venturing into the world of reality TV – in her latest move to create her own brand.
This week, The Sun exclusively revealed that Annie is reportedly in talks for a £750,000 deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

It’s rumoured that she has been offered £750k for appearing on the ITV show[/caption]
However, the 32-year-old is said to have one key condition: ITV bosses must ensure that her rival, Lauryn Goodman, 34, isn’t part of the line-up.
If she agrees to join, the mother of four could use the opportunity to address her marriage troubles with Kyle, who has been embroiled in multiple cheating scandals.
A telly insider said: “Annie wants the opportunity to make her own money and wants the public to see her as a woman in her own right, not Kyle’s downtrodden wife.
“It could be the start of a new career for Annie and an exciting move. Producers dropped Lauryn for Annie, as they knew landing Annie would be a massive boost, as she has never publicly spoken about the dramas of her marriage to Kyle.”
Producers are said to be keen to feature a high-profile WAG on the show, inspired by the success of Coleen Rooney in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity.
But Annie isn’t the only WAG stepping into the spotlight to share her side of the story.
Here, we take a look at some of the biggest reality TV paydays in the world of WAGs.
Victoria Beckham
£29 million
Victoria certainly knows how to spice up her earnings.
After rising to fame as part of one of the biggest girl groups in the world, she’s since built a career as a fashion designer and makeup brand owner.
On top of that, she’s one of the most famous WAGs globally, sharing four children – Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13 – with her legendary footballer husband, David, 49.
It’s no surprise, then, that Victoria, now 50, has appeared in several reality TV shows, offering fans a glimpse into her life.
She starred in Being Victoria Beckham and other programmes such as Victoria’s Secrets (2000), The Real Beckhams (2003), Victoria Beckham – A Mile in Their Shoes (2004), and Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (2007).

More recently, David’s Netflix documentary, in which Victoria featured prominently, became a massive hit, boosting their fortune by nearly £29 million.
She is now one of the most talked-about WAGs, having successfully monetised her fame through lucrative TV deals.
Being married to Manchester United legend Wayne, 39 – one of the UK’s most successful footballers – has meant that every aspect of her life, as well as that of their children, Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, nine, and Cass, six, has been scrutinised by fans.

Coleen found herself in the spotlight in 2019 after accusing fellow WAG and former friend Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories to the media.
Rebekah, a mother of five, sued for defamation but lost.
Coleen turned the drama into a hit documentary, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, which aired on Disney+ in 2023 and is now available on ITVX.
The 38-year-old reportedly earned over £1 million for the four-part series following a fierce bidding war.
A year later, she appeared on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and became the show’s highest-paid contestant ever, securing a deal worth around £1.5 million.
Olivia Attwood
£700k

Back in 2021, Olivia and her then fiance starred in Olivia Meets Her Match[/caption]
Olivia Attwood has firmly established herself as a reality TV queen, with her earnings continuing to soar.
The 33-year-old first shot to fame on Love Island in 2017, where contestants are paid £375 a week to cover rent and bills back home.
As one of the show’s most popular stars – thanks in part to her romance with Chris Hughes, which saw them finish third – ITV was keen to keep her on our screens.
She soon landed her own reality show, Chris & Olivia: Crackin’ On, but after splitting with Chris, she appeared on Celebs Go Datingin 2018, reportedly earning a £200,000 fee.
In 2019, Olivia joined TOWIE, where cast members are paid around £250 per episode.
By 2020, she was back with her former footballer boyfriend, Bradley Dack – who plays for Gillingham FC and had previously cheated on her before Love Island.
The couple starred in their own reality series, Olivia Meets Her Match, which earned her another £200,000.
In 2022, Olivia signed up for I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Although her time in the jungle was cut short, she reportedly received her full fee – believed to be between £100,000 and £125,00 – thanks to a special clause in her contract.
Rebekah Vardy
£250k

Rebekah Vardy may have been at the centre of the Wagatha case, but she was securing TV contracts long before that.
The 42-year-old, who shares four children with her Premier League footballer husband Jamie, 38 – Taylor, 13, Sofia, nine, Finley, six, and Olivia, three – has never been one to shy away from the spotlight.
In 2017, the WAG appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! alongside stars like Made in Chelsea‘s Toff, YouTuber Jack Maynard, and pro boxer Amir Khan.
Although she was the third campmate voted out, Rebekah walked away with a tidy £100,000.
Even during the Wagatha trial, Rebekah showed she wasn’t fazed, appearing on Dancing on Ice in 2021.
She finished in fifth place and earned a £50,000 payday for her efforts.
Abbey Clancy
£35k

When it comes to the 2006 series of Britain’s Next Top Model, one name has truly stood the test of time – and it’s Abbey’s.
The model, who shares four children with her footballing legend husband Peter Crouch – Sophia Ruby, 12, Liberty Rose, eight, Johnny, five, and Jack, four – has proven to be the real star of the competition, amassing a £3.5 million fortune.
In 2013, Abbey fulfilled a lifelong dream by taking to the Strictly Come Dancing floor, reportedly earning £35,000 for her appearance.
Paired with newcomer pro Aljaž Škorjanec, the duo dazzled judges, mastering dances like the waltz, quickstep, and samba.
Abbey went on to beat TV host Susanna Reid to claim the Glitterball trophy.
Now 39, Abbey later returned to her modelling roots, presenting Britain’s Next Top Model from 2015 until the show’s cancellation in 2017.
Nicola McLean
£7,500

Nicola McLean, married to former professional footballer Tom Williams, and mum to two boys – Rocky, 18, and Striker, 14 – has carved out her own successful career.
The former glamour model appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2008, reportedly earning £7,500 for her stint in the jungle.
Her reality TV journey didn’t end there, as Nicola went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother not once but twice – first in 2012, then again in 2017.
Having experienced the highs and lows of life in the house, she once told Fabulous: “It’s like nothing else you can imagine.”
