Police are warning of increasingly sophisticated rental scams targeting people searching for housing online.
Fraudsters are posting attractive apartment listings on legitimate platforms, then moving conversations to messaging apps like WhatsApp.
Victims are directed to fake application forms and asked to submit detailed personal information, including identity documents and financial data.
The Federal Cybercrime Office says this information can be used for identity theft or fraudulent purchases.
Police urge the public to remain cautious, avoid sharing sensitive documents online, and verify landlords or agencies before submitting any applications.
