With fraudulent social media accounts increasingly advertising homes and even purporting to offer National Housing Trust (NHT) houses for sale, members of the public are being urged to verify agents and property listings before parting with money or personal information.

The warning comes from the Realtors Association of Jamaica (RAJ), following an alert from the NHT that several unauthorised accounts have been using its name and branding to promote housing solutions online.

The NHT said it has identified multiple fake social media pages falsely claiming to represent the organisation and advertising houses for sale. It stressed that its housing solutions are not sold through social media platforms.
