Gumtree Internet Scam

The National Landlords Association (NLA), the largest landlord association in the UK, has issued a statement regarding a new internet scam on the website Gumtree.com

The High Commission encourages any New Zealanders looking for accomodation in the UK to read the NLA statement before visiting www.Gumtree.com

While www.Gumtree.com is still a useful source of rental accomodation for New Zealanders moving to the UK, it is important you know what to look out for so that you do not fall foul of an internet scam.
