There is a new scam targeting renters. Crooks take sales information from various websites, then place that information on home rental sites. The crooks then collect the first month's rent and sometimes security deposits but come up with various stories about why they can't turn over house keys to the new renters. The Des Moines Area Association of Realtors talked to the Register about the scam, saying it has been around for a couple of years. But the number of complaints has grown recently.
