The pattern

Great photos, a price €150 under the market, a landlord "abroad for work" who can't do a viewing, a deposit "to reserve it" before you've seen anything, urgency because "three others are interested". Every scam in Nijmegen has at least three of these.

The money

Western Union, crypto, a "trusted third party", an Airbnb look-alike page, or a bank account in another name or country. Real landlords take a Dutch IBAN transfer after the contract, never before a viewing.

The identity

Free email address, a phone number from another country, a name that doesn't match the account, a listing that also exists on another site under another name. Ask for ID and a video call in the room; scammers leave.

Not sure about a listing, a message, a contract or a payment request?

Paste it in. Casa scores it against the patterns above and tells you what to ask next. Free, no login.

How do I know if a room listing in Nijmegen is a scam?

A price well under the market, a landlord abroad who cannot show the room, a deposit before any viewing, payment by Western Union, crypto or to a foreign account, and urgency. Three of these together is a scam.

What should I do if I already paid a scammer?

Contact your bank immediately to try to reverse the transfer, report it to the police (aangifte) and to the platform, and keep every message. Casa can help you write the report.

Is Casa free for students in Nijmegen?
