Scammers will use real photos of houses or condos.
That look beautiful and outstanding.

Post them for rent or sale.
At prices much lower than the market.
To make victims rush to transfer.
Because they’re afraid someone else will grab it.
.
.
3️⃣ Refuse to show the actual room.
Claim to be abroad or in another province.
Say they are busy, can’t travel.
Require you to transfer the reservation first.
Then they will come or travel to open the room.
Or sign the contract later.

.
.

Fake profile, fake fanpage.
Create fanpages imitating famous agents.

Until you realize you lost money.
And no actual transfer came to your account.
.
.

After paying the first deposit, such as 500 baht.
They will claim you need to pay more for contract fee.
Damage deposit, key fee.
Or cleaning fee.
And keep asking for small amounts repeatedly.
.
.
1️⃣4️⃣ Trick you into paying to post rental ads.
When you post ads in FB groups, Marketplace.
There will be people commenting or inboxing saying.
“Interested, please add Line.”
