Rabun Co. Sheriff’s Office warning about Rental Scam

The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office was notified by a local resident that their house was listed for rent by an unknown individual via an online rental site without their consent or knowledge.  Someone in need of a rental placed a deposit on that property and later found out they were scammed.  The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to deal locally when looking for a rental by dealing directly with the property owner or with a trusted property management company.
