Consumer watchdog warns students to be aware of rental scams ahead of academic year
The CCPC warned students not to pay by cash or Revolut for a property but to 'pay in a way that is traceable and refundable'.
The consumer watchdog has warned students not to pay by cash or Revolut for a property, as it urged them to be cautious of rental scams heading into the next academic year.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said the hunt for student accommodation was ramping up ahead of September, and students are under pressure to find a place to live due to the shortage of rentals available.
