Rental Scams

A Sioux Falls couple recently avoided a rental scam. Danae Cordie of Sioux Falls says "We were looking for rental places, and started looking online, and found a couple that looked like they were in our range so we went ahead and emailed to get information," The scam hinged on sending money overseas. Fortunately, Danae didn't send any money but others may not have been so lucky. Officer Sam Clemens says "These people are really good about giving a good answer about why they're not available, why they're out of the country and what the circumstances are but if you have to wire money to somebody and you're not doing a face to face transactions I would steer clear of that,"
