$51,875 was lost to rent scams by 20 WA victims in 2025, up on 2024. Scammers use stolen photos, cheap rent and excuses to avoid an inside viewing, then push for bond by bank transfer. WA Government, Jan 2026
The 10 red-flag questions
Answer for the listing you're looking at. Nothing you enter here is sent anywhere.
These are risk indicators, not a verdict. A low score never means a listing is guaranteed safe, and a high score doesn't prove it's a scam. Always inspect inside (or have someone do it for you), deal with a licensed agent or a landlord you've met, and never pay before you've seen the home and signed a lease. Report scams to WA ScamNet (1300 30 40 54).
