SCAM ALERT: Recently, several addresses in town have been fraudulently listed for short-term rental on Expedia. This can lead to some potentially tense situations, as people who have booked what they believe to be a legitimate rental can show up and attempt to enter a residence, while the homeowner has no idea why they are there. The North Castle Police Department is working to address any criminal issues which arise from these types of events; in addition, residents should consider searching their own address in sites like Expedia, Airbnb, VRBO, etc. If it appears your residence is listed, contact the website’s support section to report it immediately:
As always, please lock your doors and windows when leaving your residence, ensure that any alarm systems or cameras in place are functioning, and report any suspicious activity immediately to the North Castle Police Department at 914-273-9500.
