About this site
This site began as a warning about housing scams encountered while searching for a flat in Paris, France. But in fact, the warnings apply to any search for accommodation via the Internet, anywhere in the world. Indeed, the scams do not originate in Paris, or London or New York, but for the most part are perpetrated by cyber thieves working in the Internet cafés of Lagos, Nigeria and other places far out of reach of their victims.
