Safe Search Practices
Do not extend payment or hold deposit to anyone you have not met in person
Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union)
- anyone who asks you to is a scammer
Never give out financial info
(bank account, social security, paypal account, etc) over the phone or email
Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen
Avoid background/credit checks
until you have met property representative in person
Avoid landlords who refuse to meet or speak on the phone and only communicate via email
Contact a case manager if you feel uncomfortable discussing your voucher with a landlord
Request a receipt for any deposits or money given for a background or credit check
Attend housing search groups operated by VA Jamaica Plain, VA Brockton, and VA Causeway CBOC
