SCAMS – Make sure you read this!!!

  • Post category:UK Alerts

You are about to embark on your studies to the UK after months of planning and preparing. Excitement is building and a few butterflies rumbling away in your tummy. But there are always a few people out there seeking to take advantage of your vulnerability and lack of knowledge of your new environment and will use the internet and social media to try to get you to part with your money.

Last year alone, we were made aware of scams that cost students over £88,000! And this is just within our network. 90% of these scams came in Housing which makes sense given that it is the most sought-after commodity and your experience in the UK does not go ahead without first having a place to live in.

SO WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE YOU AGREE TO ANY HOUSING AGREEMENT AND CERTAINLY BEFORE YOU SEND OVER ANY FUNDS. JUST REACH OUT TO US HERE: [email protected].

Why is it important that you do this?

  1. We guarantee to respond within 24hrs. If we do not respond within that time, please contact us again and you are allowed to be shouty this time :).
  2. You can check more than one ad with us. There is no limit to the number of ads you can send us.
  3. With our experience of the housing market and how rental properties work, we will know within minutes whether the ad you are considering is real or fake and will let you know instantly.
  4. Even if you think the ad is authentic, it does not hurt just checking. Again, you will get a response within 24hrs.
