The Police won't (or can't) do anything about it. It has to be a significant loss before they'll even bother with the paperwork. I was ripped off last year when a business owner's email was hacked. I thought I was sending the business owner money but was communicating with a Fraudster that hacked his email account. I sent the money via Email Money Transfer and that was the end of it. That money is gone and the Police won't do anything even though the Fraudster is in Canada !

Exactly They would have just told her to call the landlord Tennent board , Who just say call the police that is not a civil Crime that is a standard Crime ! theft ! Pre-meditated Crime.

And that's why it happens and they get away with it. It turns our cities into theft rings.

It's getting to the point where you have to do a county records search, and then check the landlord's ID against your findings.

So easy to trace the scammers: phone calls, Facebook post with an IP address, e transfers

It not that easy! They will use stolen phones, laptops or used with old owner credentials, at theat point a broken link. They use public wifi access. The will open locks and gets keys done! Realtor locks are combination locks, very easy to open once you know how. So, some shows open the lock with the combination (previously cracked) or the key on hand, (regardless if agent is on it or not) and now you get your trust level back to normal.
