We are appealing for information following allegations in Swindon involving property lettings.
Officers have arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of fraud, who has since been released on bail.
PC Andrew Lacey, from Swindon Police, said: “We have had reports that a man has been advertising a property available for rent that he does not own, and taking deposits from victims who believe they will be moving in.
“We would advise people looking to rent a property to be extra vigilant and make sure you carry out relevant checks prior to making payment.”
If you can help the police with their enquiries, please call on 101 quoting reference number 54230046311.
