International Study Start: Safely Online - Prevention Strategies on the Topic of Fraud in Apartment Hunting
Introduction Event
online via Zoom

The internet makes many things easier – including the search for an apartment. Especially for students, it is often the most important way to quickly and easily find a room or an apartment. At the same time, fraudsters deliberately exploit this situation: fake apartment listings, dubious rental offers, identity theft, or advance payment scams are not uncommon. Those especially affected are students looking for an apartment for the first time, as well as international first-semester students who are not yet familiar with local conditions and typical fraud schemes. The combination of time pressure, housing shortages, and lack of experience makes them a frequent target group. But anyone who knows the common forms of fraud and observes some basic safety precautions can effectively protect themselves. This is exactly where the event comes in: it provides an overview of typical risks when searching for an apartment online and gives concrete recommendations for safe conduct.
 
Additionally, a representative of the police will give a short lecture on current forms of fraud and prevention options.

Important Notes:

-The workshop will be conducted in German.
- Individual case questions cannot be addressed; however, general questions are welcome.
