For your protection, please keep the following in mind:

• All applications must be completed and approved through our office or our website www.wilkinsandco.com before any payments are discussed.

• Security deposits are paid in person at our office by money order, or cashier’s check only.

• We do NOT request deposits or fees through Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or any other electronic payment apps.

• We will never ask you to send money to someone claiming to be from our company through social media or text message.

If you ever have questions about a listing or someone requesting payment claiming to represent our company, please contact our office directly before sending any money 434-797-4009.

Scammers often copy legitimate listings and pretend to be property managers. Protect yourself and others by sharing this post.
