POLSON — Polson Police would like to warn the public about a rental scam that’s been attempted in the Polson area.
In one variation, a suspect will locate a house for rent either by the owner or rental agency on the Internet. The suspect will then advertise the rental on his or her own, posing as the owner or rental agency, according to a press release from Assistant Police Chief Clint Cottle.
When an interested party contacts them, the suspect asks that the rental fees be submitted to them instead of the rightful owner.
