a scam. kerry sanders joins us from ft. lauderdale to explain. good morning.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  good morning, ann. it seems to simple. go on the internet, find a beach house to rent, sign a contract, send money and go on a dream vacation. what if you show up and it turns out the contract is bogus and the person you paid to rent the house from doesn&#8217;t even own it? it is one of ft. lauderdale&#8217;s most desirable neighborhoods, only five blocks long, right on the beach near a shopping district where the rich live and play. for three generations of family and friends for quebec it was the perfect spot for a girls&#8217; getaway.<\/p>\n<p>>> it looked just like what i wanted. perfect house.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  louise bedard found the house on a rental website. $5700 for 24 days. $237.50 a day. a deal. especially when the cost for the five bedroom house was split among everyone. this is the house they paid to rent. but in the window of the front door, a sign.<\/p>\n<p>>> it&#8217;s not for rent. it is absolutely not for rent.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  in the last 12 months steve chase, the owner, has had four families show up from quebec, montreal and south carolina, all believing they rented his house for a vacation. his neighbors have had a dozen more families show up to rent their houses.<\/p>\n<p>>> there was a taxi in my driveway and the driver was actually taking luggage out of the taxi, leaving it on my front door.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  steve chase isn&#8217;t a victim. he hasn&#8217;t lost money. but he&#8217;s angry. he turned to police who told him since the scammed victims were not locals he should call the secret service. he then contacted ic-3, a partnership with the fbi and the national white collar crime center which led him to florida&#8217;s attorney general who said, call the local police.<\/p>\n<p>>> i&#8217;m looking here at your dining room table which is command central of an investigation. you&#8217;re running into brick walls.<\/p>\n<p>>> brick walls and just going in a vicious circle.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  so we took that contract for steve&#8217;s house that those women from quebec had and shared it with experts at dell secureworks, an internet security company in atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>>> analyzing the document &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  john ramsey found code hidden in the document.<\/p>\n<p>>> there is a name of odigie which is a common nigerian name.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  could it be a scam with a new twist? in this case it appears the money is staying in the united states. the women from quebec traced their check to a bank in lowell, arkansas. others sent checks san bernardino, california. that&#8217;s where richard adams found anthony peretes who said he cashed checks for the fake rental listings saying he would get $100 for every check and then he wired the bulk of the money to someone he never met.<\/p>\n<p>>> i don&#8217;t get much. i get chump change.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  as for the women from quebec, a somewhat happy ending. they came to florida on vacation, found a legitimate house to rent and they are getting their money back from the phoney rental thanks to a fast-acting banker who froze the check when it was deposited.<\/p>\n<p>>> the next time? we&#8217;re going to be a little bit more careful for sure.<\/p>\n<p>>> reporter:  the better business bureau said the scams look small. $3,000 here, $6,000 here but they add up to millions. the best advice, don&#8217;t wire money, don&#8217;t send a check. use your credit card. that limits your liability. ann?<\/p>\n<p>>> kerry sanders with good advice this morning. thanks, kerry. up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\"
