The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office and the Yolo County Housing Authority are making residents aware of an ongoing scam in the county. Scammers take potential renters for hundreds of dollars under the promise of a cheap home that’s become available. Scammers ask for a deposit and/or first month’s rent.
