Advice for handling/preventing rental scams?

I have had several investor friends recently in Omaha who have seen their rental properties get advertised by a scammer who then collects "deposit" money from potential applicants. I have thankfully never had this happen to me yet, but I was wondering if there are best practices out there for prevention and also for how to handle when it occurs. Any advice is appreciated!
