Residents looking for a new place to rent, should be aware of a scam going on in the Lakeport Area. Police say they’ve received reports of someone posing as a landlord at properties in the city, telling potential renters they’ve been approved to rent but that they need to provide them with a security deposit through a cash app. If you’ve been a victim of a scam like this or something similar, you are asked to contact the City of Lakeport or Lakeport PD. Lakeport PD has a Facebook page and can be messaged there as well.
