According to police, the scam uses information from legitimate listings to create ads for a rental property which they will "rent" at an attractive price.
Renters who then locate the ad, police said, are instructed to send in a deposit, and they are told keys will then be sent to them. Later on, the person who sent in the money generally finds out they have been scammed.
