Tokunbo Central’s answer: scammers rely on urgency and desperation. These warning signs and habits protect you.

  • Rental red flags: rent far below market, a landlord “abroad” who cannot show the property, or requests to pay a deposit before a viewing or contract. Use video viewings with someone you trust and pay through traceable methods.
  • Job red flags: offers without an interview, fees for “processing” or training, or contact from personal email addresses. Real employers do not charge you to hire you.
  • Visa red flags: agents promising guaranteed visas, fast-track approvals or jobs that “come with” a visa for a fee. Apply through official government websites.
  • Verify everything: check company registration, look up reviews and ask in community groups like Community.
  • Never share passport scans or bank details with people you have not verified.
  • If scammed: report it to the police and your bank immediately, and warn others.

Your turn: have you or someone you know been targeted by a relocation scam? Share the warning signs so others stay safe.
