Attorney General Ashley Moody launched the Summer Scam Series.
The series focuses on consumer protection and outlines common scams seen during the summer months.
Moody is kicking off the series with a Consumer Alert about vacation rental scams.
These scams involve fake postings offering vacation rental properties.
The scammers behind these ads often request an application fee or security deposit. Once payment is made, the rental listing may disappear along with the consumer’s money.
