There are lots of scams on the internet, especially in Facebook groups. These places are full of false adverts for rental housing / flats.
Some of them are easy to expose / spot. Some of them are very hard to expose / spot.
Low rental prices and bad language of a person offering rentals are typical signs of false adverts. There are also very sophisticated scams like a false realtor, who met with prospective tenants.
They all have one thing in common. Scammers behind false adverts concentrate their efforts on people who are in a desperate need to rent a place to live. They are also interested in people who don’t have enough money to pay a “market” rent. Another category of interesting people to fool (prospective tenants) for them are those whom owners of properties wouldn’t rent a place (for any bizarre illegal reasons, owner can make up nowadays.)
It is important to realize from the point of prospective tenants that making decisions under psychological pressure cause outcomes which are not in their interest. Scammers exploit it. That is the reason why they can cheat you. It is a form of social engineering.
The article is about an exposed scam and a scammer, how the scam was exposed and why the police is not helpful in such cases and cannot deal with such scams preventively.
There is an interactive price map of Ministry of Finance where you can check what the real prices of rents are.

The first suspicious thing which occurs is that instead of replying to your questions, you receive a template email including a set of question from the scammer. The email also includes a fascinating personal story why the scammer rents the flat and where he (a fictious owner – the scammer) resides:

“Hello,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the one-bedroom apartment advertised for immediate rental. I’m pleased to provide further details about the property, which is fully furnished and well-equipped. As the owner, I seek a responsible tenant who will appreciate and maintain the flat. You’ll have the apartment entirely to yourself, without any flatmates, and I currently reside and work in Opava.
Allow me to briefly introduce myself:
My name is Tomáš ********. I am originally from the Czech Republic, although I was born and raised in Barnsley, United Kingdom. I completed my university studies in the UK and spent several years working there and in other parts of Europe. For the past 15 years, I have been working as an oil rig engineer. A few years ago, I moved to Poland after getting married, seeking new opportunities. Later on, I accepted a position back in the Czech Republic, as I wanted to return to my home country. Recently, my company transferred me to Opava for a long-term project. As a result, I decided to rent out my apartment rather than leave it empty. I am looking for someone responsible who will take good care of the property as if it were their own.
Below are the rental terms and security deposit details:
Property Address: Verdunská ***, 160 00 Praha 6-Bubeneč, Czechia
Rent: 14, 535 CZK per month (All bills inclusive with no additional or hidden charges)
Security Deposit: 12,165 CZK (Refundable at the end of your tenancy)
Move-in Fee: One month’s rent plus the security deposit
Couples: Allowed
Proof Of Residence: Available
Minimum Stay: 1 Month
Maximum Stay: 1 Year, with the option to extend the tenancy after 12 months
Property/Room Amenities: TV, high-speed internet, washing machine, dryer, toaster, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, etc.
I want to emphasize that I am a considerate and honest landlord who takes great care of my property. I’ve invested significantly in maintaining it and hope to find a tenant who will treat it with the same level of care and respect. It’s essential that you keep the apartment clean and tidy throughout your stay.
Before proceeding, I have a few questions for you:
1. Can you ensure the proper care of my property while I’m away?
2. What is your full name?
3. Where are you currently located?
4. What is your nationality, age, marital status, and profession?
5. How many people will be living in the apartment?
6. Is this your first time renting a property?
7. When would you like to move in?
8. Duration of tenancy?
9. Please provide your phone number (WhatsApp preferred if available).
All the amenities in the apartment are in good working condition. I prioritize open communication and a positive relationship with my tenants, so if any issues arise, please inform me promptly, and I’ll ensure they are addressed without delay.
Please note: While the property is furnished, I can accommodate your preferences if you wish to bring your own belongings or furniture into the apartment.
I’ve attached pictures of the room for your reference. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests.
Best regards,
Tomáš”

I live in the other part of Prague.
4. What is your nationality, age, marital status, and profession?

„Hi,
Thank you for your response. I’m pleased to hear from you and would be happy to have you as my tenant. The apartment is currently vacant, as the previous tenant has relocated abroad. It is a fully furnished one-bedroom flat, and you will not be sharing it with anyone. The location is convenient, with easy access to nearby train stations and local amenities. You are welcome to have visitors; however, I kindly ask that the apartment is not overcrowded, as this has been an issue with some tenants in the past. The security deposit and first month’s rent will be required once you are ready to move in. As mentioned earlier, I am currently based in Opava for work. Before traveling to Prague to arrange a viewing, I would like to be certain of your interest and financial readiness to proceed. Ideally, I prefer to finalize everything on the same day (viewing, signing, and key handover) since previous experiences have involved no-shows or individuals who were not prepared to proceed, which has affected my work schedule.
Additionally, please let me know if you would be willing to reserve the apartment before your move-in date. If so, my lawyer will prepare a tenancy agreement, which you will need to print, sign, and return to me. Once this is completed, a holding fee (equivalent to the security deposit and first month’s rent) will be required via bank transfer to my lawyer’s account. This ensures a secure and straightforward refund process should you decide not to proceed after the viewing. The payment will reserve the apartment for you until your move-in date. Proof of accommodation can also be issued upon completion of the reservation process, if required.
After payment confirmation, we can arrange a convenient date and time for the viewing, key handover, and final documentation so you can move in smoothly. If, after viewing the apartment, you decide not to proceed, your holding fee will be fully refunded via bank transfer. I am confident you will enjoy living in the apartment, provided the rules are respected and the property is kept clean and well maintained.
To answer your questions:
1. How many square metres does the flat have?
The apartment has a total floor area of 53 m².
2. Are the windows of the flat facing the street or the courtyard?
The windows mainly face the inner courtyard, which provides a quieter and more peaceful living environment.
3. Does the flat have a basement or a room where it is possible to store a bicycle?
Yes, the building has a designated bicycle storage room where residents can safely store their bicycles.
4. How much are the utilities/services per month? Are there any utilities which are registered to the tenant?
The monthly rent includes all utilities and services, including electricity, water, heating, and internet. The utility accounts remain in my name, so there is no need to transfer any services into the tenant’s name.
5. Is it possible to remove some of the furniture from the flat? I have my own furniture partly at my current flat.
Yes, of course. Any furniture you do not wish to use can be removed and placed into storage, allowing you to furnish the apartment with your own items if you prefer.
6. When would you like the new tenant to move in?
I am perfectly happy for you to move in from September. The only requirement is that the apartment is secured and reserved in advance, so it can be taken off the market and held exclusively for you until your move-in date.
7. How much is the deposit for the flat?
To reserve the apartment, the required payment consists of the security deposit of CZK 12,165 and the first month’s rent of CZK 14,535, making a total of CZK 26,700. Once this reservation payment has been completed, the apartment will be secured and reserved exclusively for you until your agreed move-in date. The security deposit is refundable at the end of the tenancy, provided the apartment is returned in good condition with no damages beyond normal wear and tear.
If you would like to proceed, let me know so that I can send you the tenancy agreement.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Tomas“

A problem arises. The scammer writes you about cogent / convincing reasons, why it is necessary to pay a reservation fee in advance before a viewing. He exploits your emotions of thoughtfulness to circumstances of fellow human beings. To assert trustworthiness of the offer, he sends you an additional video taken at the flat as a proof he doesn’t lie:

“Hello,
Thank you for your email and for your interest in the apartment.
I completely understand your suggestion, and under normal circumstances I would be happy to arrange a viewing first. However, because I am currently working in Opava, I need to make travel arrangements specifically to come to Prague. In the past, I have travelled after arranging viewings with prospective tenants, only for them not to show up or not to be ready to proceed. This not only affected my work schedule but also resulted in unnecessary travel and prevented other genuinely interested applicants from renting the apartment.
For this reason, I now require the reservation process to be completed before I make travel arrangements. Once the apartment has been reserved, I can commit to travelling to Prague knowing that the tenant is genuinely interested and prepared to proceed. At that meeting, we will carry out the apartment inspection, hand over the keys, and complete any remaining documentation.
To help you get a better understanding of the apartment, I have attached a video of the studio, which shows the layout and current condition of the property in detail.
If, after watching the video, you are satisfied and would like to proceed, please let me know. I will then draft the tenancy agreement and send it to you for your review. Once the agreement is signed and the reservation payment (consisting of the first month’s rent and the refundable security deposit) has been completed, the apartment will be removed from the market and reserved exclusively for you until your move-in date.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Tomas”
Not being able to arrange a viewing and have the viewing in person without paying in advance is the primary warning sign.
If you carry on sending emails with the scammer, he will send you a lease contract. When you suggest an alternative to the viewing in a form of meeting at the place where the scammer is supposed to reside (Opava), he will agree initially. In the end, the communication with him dies down and nothing comes out of it:

Hello,
Thank you for your message and for your suggestion.
If meeting in Opava is more convenient for you, then that is not a problem. However, I just want to clarify that we would only be meeting in person, as the studio itself is located in Prague, so you would not be viewing the apartment in Opava. I just want to make sure we’re on the same page regarding that.
Regarding the tenancy agreement, I will be happy to send it to you for review if you are genuinely interested in proceeding with the reservation process. Once you have reviewed the agreement and confirmed that you are happy with the terms, we can proceed with the reservation payment to secure the apartment. After the reservation has been completed, we can arrange a convenient date for the apartment inspection in Prague and the key handover.
Please let me know what you think. If you are willing to proceed on this basis, I will send you the tenancy agreement for your review.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Tomas

There are also very sophisticated scams like a false realtor, who met with prospective tenants and thus it is possible that even meeting up with a fictious owner / realtor is not enough to proof it is a genuine offer.
Checking Land registry isn’t enough
The scammer uses a land registry online search tool to find out names of property owners. In this case, it was a flat at Verdunska street in Prague 6. The scammer found out that the real name of the owner of the flat is Tomáš ********.
He created a fake e-mail address, tomas******** based on the information. We communicated together via the fake email address.
Thus, even checking the land register can be not enough.
Meeting up the then tenant
I suspected it was a possible scam, so I decided to visit the address. I rang a bell of the advertised flat. A the then tenant who was just moving out opened the door. The communication with the scammer was in English. I wanted to check if Mr Tomáš ******** speaks Czech, whether the then tenant had ever seen him in person and if the photos and the video which I received were false or genuine.
It is possible to misuse photos as well. Scammers search official websites with property rentals, download photos of flats and use them for scams.
The tenant confirmed that Tomáš ******** speaks Czech and that she had met him multiple times in person. She also told me that the photos and the video of the flat were fake.
The rental price offered by the scammer was 600 €. The real rent having been paid by the then tenant (rent + utilities + “services”) was 1 072 €.
The tenant shared with me that it had not been the first time this kind of a scam occurred with the flat. She told me it had occurred repetitively. It was also confirmed by a passing woman who lives in the same block of flats. The tenant informed a real estate agency taking care of renting the flat. She told me in her own words what the real estate agency told her: “When I told them, they played it down and said it was nonsense and that I should stop paying attention to it.”
I wanted to make a contact with the real owner Mr Tomáš *******. I gave my credentials to the tenant sharing my intention to write an article about the scam. She said she would pass the contact to the owner. I visited the flat on 30th June 2026 and haven’t got any messages for the owner (Publishing date: 7th August 2026).
Police didn’t investigate the case
I went to the police to report the case as a then occurring internet scam. Unfortunately, I was not successful with it because no offence has been committed.
Police officers whom I met with at a local department told me it could have only been investigated if an offence had been committed. The offence would have been committed if I had sent the money and an obligation (a flat being rented) would not have been fulfilled. If it had happened, it would have been an offence worth investigating.
Fourteen days after reporting it, I received a letter from the police informing me that an offence hasn’t been committed because I hadn’t sent the money to the scammer.
Not investigating the case really surprised me, because there is a report of the police investigating similar scam (more sophisticated) where money wasn’t defrauded however it fulfilled the description of an offence.
Where the scammer comes from
It is possible to find out where emails of scammers come from, from metadata of messages which are transmitted on the internet. I contacted Seznam.cz and was told that it is possible to check the metadata of emails in my own email box. It is attached to each email.
Based on the information in the metadata, I found the email came from Dublin, Ireland. However, the problem is that it was the metadata indicating the last server in the path towards my own email box. Imagine it as the last post office before you receive a letter to your home. If I wanted to find out more about the identity of the scammer, I would have to contact Google.
I also asked Seznam.cz to give me more information and a written confirmation of the email origin. However, I was told they couldn’t do it because of GDPR and safeguarding privacy of people.
To get more information (the metadata), it is necessary that either the police or courts ask for it while investigating a crime. Thus, I couldn’t carry on finding out where the villain comes from.
Villains have won again. I guess only Judge Dredd can fight it when we stand against Rico (the bad guy in the movie).
Primary causes of such high number of scams
The main causes why these scams occur is a very bad state of property market in the Czech Republic.
Things contributing to the crisis: Shortage of properties; Perceiving properties as an investment by investors and speculators; Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb; State-owned flats which are auctioned in public auction by private companies; General passivity and incapability of politicians to deal with the situation and so on. You can find out more about the causes and solutions in these articles: How to solve housing crisis, Housing crisis – statements by political parties and Tricky life of politicians.
Unfortunately, this crisis puts prospective tenants and people who would like to live at a better place than under the Charles Bridge (Even though with a good view. The only problem being pigeons shitting on you occasionally.) to a position which is not good for negotiating good terms with property owners. Then it is quite normal that rental seekers get under a lot of psychological pressure. The need of living under a roof is a need which cannot be abstained from. In such situations, rental seekers are more prone to be fooled by scammers and to go on with shadowy transactions.
How to solve it
The solution to the current crisis is to redress the current state of the property market. Scammers and scams are just consequences.
How not to be fooled
It is the most important not to make decisions when you are under pressure and you feel anxiety, anger, being manipulated and other negative emotions. Under such circumstances, one makes irrational decisions. It is better to put decisions off by 24 hours.
If there is something suspicions about an advert (a low price, bad communication capabilities of advertisers), it better to let such properties go.
While looking for a rental, it is advised to check who the real owner of a property is at a land registry online search tool to verify whether what you are told matches the reality.
Never pay any money in advance before a viewing. If an in-person viewing is not possible and an advertiser requires money in advance, it is a strong warning sign that it is a scam.
Since a false realtor, who met with prospective tenants scams have occurred it is advisable to check an identity card of the person trying to rent a flat to you before handing over any money.
While communicating with advertisers, owners of properties, observe how they behave, communicate and react.
Conclusion
As you have read in the article, neither checking the land registry or spotting bad language and grammar are sometimes not enough to verify that a rental is truly genuine.
That is the reason why it is necessary to observe and check the whole process from the first point of contact until sending money for warning signs (described above). The more warning signs appear, the higher probability of a scam.
If you are not sure whether an offer is genuine, it is always better to stick to the assumption that it is a scam. This way, you won’t lose any money.
However, if your intention is for an offence to occur so that the police can start investigating it and you want a scammer to be caught and you want to do something for the public good, I cannot force you not to do so, to send the money to the scammer (It is a joke, editor’s note).
Your own personal experience
There are many articles nowadays [article n. 1], [article n. 2] which say that the primary signs to spot a scammer is bad grammar and language or putting you under psychological pressure by saying things like: “We have another 5 interested people apart from you.”, “Take a deposit/reservation fee with you at the viewing.” or that it is advised to check websites of real estate agencies.
I disagree with these statements. Trained scammers sit behind computers who don’t make language and grammar mistakes nowadays. Putting prospective tenants under psychological pressure has become new standard at viewings. Regularly telling you about a number of applicants before they show you a flat (On the way from the main entrance door to the door of a flat.)
When checking online presence of a real estate agency (websites), one must also be careful. It is not trustworthy anymore. Anybody can create a professional website nowadays. It is also possible to create fake email addresses and give yourself positive reviews on Google.
Who to trust? What to trust? As it has been mentioned in the article, it a combination of multiple aspects which must be evaluated during the whole process. It is important to take warning signs into account and be aware of psychological pressure being put on you and most importantly not to make decisions when under psychological pressure.
What is your experience with internet and rental scams, dealing with realtors and owners of flats? How would you deal with such problems? Write in the comment section below.
