FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RSPD Warns Community of Real Estate Rental Scam

[Rock Springs, WY] — The Rock Springs Police Department is alerting residents to a real estate fraud scheme in which individuals are falsely claiming ownership of properties and attempting to sell, rent, or otherwise profit from those properties.

A recent report has been received regarding individuals falsely claiming to be the lawful owners of a residential property. In this incident, a property advertised for rent on Facebook (see below) was verified by the legitimate owner as a fraudulent listing. The suspects allegedly collected security deposits, application fees, and other related payments from unsuspecting victims before ceasing communication and disappearing after receiving the funds.

These scams can result in significant financial losses for prospective buyers, renters, and even legitimate property owners whose identities or properties are being misused.

The Rock Springs Police Department encourages community members to take the following precautions when engaging in real estate transactions:

• Verify property ownership through county property records or a licensed title company.
• Work with reputable real estate agents, brokers, and property management companies.
• Be cautious of individuals who pressure you to act quickly or request payment through unusual methods.
• Never send deposits, down payments, or rental payments without independently confirming ownership and legitimacy.
• Request identification and documentation proving ownership before entering into any transaction.

Property owners are also encouraged to periodically monitor public records and online listings to ensure their properties are not being fraudulently advertised or transferred.

Anyone who believes they may have been the victim of a real estate scam or who has information regarding suspicious activity that might be related to this incident is encouraged to contact RSPD.
