A U. of I. student reported responding to a post she saw about an apartment lease in the “UIUC Housing Sublet & Roommates” Facebook group. After filling out the rental application and lease agreement, she was asked to send a deposit of $800 via Zelle. The initial transaction failed, so she sent $400 to two people. Once the transactions were complete, she was asked to send an additional $300 for apartment renovation costs to five different people, all of which failed. The student was then contacted by her bank, who advised her that the accounts had been flagged for scams and that the transactions had been denied. The student ceased all contact with the scammers and contacted police.
