Safety Tips

Meet in a public place before agreeing to share a home. Video call first to verify the person is who they say they are.

Never send money before viewing a property in person or via live video. Scammers often ask for deposits before a viewing.

Read any rental agreement carefully before signing. Ask for a receipt for any payment you make.

Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it probably is. Report suspicious listings to hello@noveltygems.com.
