POLITICO: Justice Department preparing rental market collusion lawsuit
Here's a new #rental #scam that's going around our small town near Atlanta.
Someone is posting notices on apartment doors telling renters that their #apartment complex is using a new website for paying #rent. There's a QR Code that leads to a now-deleted account page on the #Square payments processing website where they enter their contact info. Then they get an email for "further signup & payment instructions".
I hate scammers and I hate rental scammers even more.

The surprise search appears to be part of a DoJ #criminal #investigation... into an alleged scheme among many #corporate #landlords to artificially increase #rents through collusion. "
