Scammers use QR codes to connect renters to fraudulent sites that look very real. Their goal: collect some form of payment, like a deposit or rental fee, as quickly as possible. If the scam goes undetected, the fraudster can continue using the provided financial information for additional unauthorized transactions.

Scammers use stolen personal information to pretend they are from your bank or another trusted company. They trigger a real one-time passcode (OTP) to be sent to your phone or email and ask you to share it. The code is not from a legitimate source—it’s part of their attempt to access your account. If you share the code, they can log in or change your password. Real banks will never call you to ask for an OTP.
