Paste the link of a rental listing or enter street and city. You instantly see whether the home is really still for rent, since when we have seen it, at which other providers it appears, what the price did and whether the provider is known to us. Checked against supply from 1000+ agency sites.
We show whether the home is currently in the provider supply, since when we have tracked it and, if it is gone, when we last saw it. A listing that disappeared from supply weeks ago but still circulates elsewhere is exactly the pattern to watch for.
You see every price change we recorded and at which other providers the same home appears, with a status per listing. If the provider is in our MakelaarHub you can click straight through to its profile with enrollment costs and process.
These signals come from the Fraudehelpdesk (the Dutch national fraud desk) guidance on rental fraud. None of them is proof on its own; several at once is a reason to walk away.
The Fraudehelpdesk golden rule: always view first, and never pay before you have seen the home and signed a contract.
Check the listing against an independent source: this home check looks the property up in the supply WoonBusters collects from 1000+ agency sites and shows whether it is really still for rent there, since when we have seen it and what the price did. Beyond that, always view the home first and never pay a deposit or rent before you have seen it and signed a contract. Source: Fraudehelpdesk.
That can be a warning signal, but it is no proof of fraud. WoonBusters collects supply from 1000+ agency sites, but private adverts (for example on Marktplaats or Facebook) and brand-new listings fall outside our view. When in doubt, walk through the fake-listing signals on this page before paying anything.
Active listings are typically re-observed several times per hour at the provider. We deliberately mark a disappearance only after several missed checks or an explicit note on the provider page itself, so a temporary outage does not count as rented. The result of the check is cached for at most 10 minutes.
That is usually normal: agencies often list the same home on several platforms. Our duplicate detection links those adverts together, so you can see where the home is still active and whether the price is the same everywhere. A large price gap between listings is a reason to pay extra attention.
Do not pay anything and do not share a copy of your ID. Report the suspicion to the Fraudehelpdesk; if you have already lost money, file a police report via the internet fraud route. The links are at the bottom of this page.
