Check if the ad is unique with Google Images. From the photos published on the Beeroom ad, you can see if the same photos are on other sites.
- If on the other sites, the ad containing the same photos is in Douala while Beeroom ad was in Yaoundé, it’s suspicious;
- If the information in the other ad is the same as on Beeroom, it is less likely to be a scam;

Pay attention to the e-mail address used by the landlord, especially if you start talking outside of Beeroom. Scammers often use false e-mail addresses and may sometimes use the “Beeroom” brand without our knowledge. To be sure, check if the email ends with “@Beeroom.fr”.. If this is not the case, we are not the source of this message. We would appreciate it if you could report these email addresses to us.

To go further after reserving your rental, do not hesitate to call the landlord via a friend to check that the period you have booked is indeed unavailable.

On the phone, test the landlord on the area, neigh bourhood, housing. If they’ re very hesitant or give you inconsistent information, you’ll have a good idea.
