   Hi..I like the video the most. Now a days real estate frauds are very common. But we should be carefull to avoid loss while buying selling , renting property / real estate

   You’re right about avoiding losses, but this is really just a wake up call to people to do their research before trusting pretty much anyone they deal with in business (and yes, renting an apartment is doing business).

   Real Estate agents in Britian aren’t licensed. In the USA just ask to see the license and take the number down before handing over money.

   Good advice Athol, however most rental properties I’ve ever seen are not listed with any real estate agent. Unfortunately your advice falls a bit short under that situation.

   Sorry for jumping in late on this one, but that is a frightening video. Thanks for sharing.

   Oh my goodness. I live in the United States and I’ve never heard of anything going on like this. Wow.

   Although, I’ve mostly rented places from established apartment complexes. When I’ve looked at places owned by individual landlords, they’ve always met me there, or at least, I thought it was them meeting me there.

   I wonder if anyone has tried to pull this on me before.

   Scary stuff, good warning as many people just assume the person that opens the door is the owner
