The Park City Police Department last week received a report involving a rental listing that may have been fraudulent.
The agency on Wednesday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m., was told of a property on Calumet Circle that had been listed online as a rental. The property, though, belongs to the person who contacted the police, according to department logs.
The department listed the case as a citizen assist.
Similar cases, though, are sometimes reported as suspected fraud. The logs did not provide details about the listing.
The department has long received reports of suspected frauds involving rental listings. In many of the cases, the person files a report with the police prior to losing money in some kind of scheme. In other instances, the person had already sent or wired funds by the time the police were contacted.
The Park City Police Department last week and early in this week responded to a series of canine-related reports, including a incident involving two dogs falling through ice in Park Meadows. The police regularly receive calls about dogs, but a concentrated series of unrelated cases like the recent one is unusual.
