Groups are fast and free, and that's exactly why scammers use them. The same photos get reposted with different numbers, "owners" ask for a deposit before a viewing, and the bed is gone by the time you arrive.
Red flags in group posts
- Price far below the area's going rate (compare with our live prices).
- Pressure to pay a "holding" deposit before you've seen the place.
- No building name, or it changes when you ask.
- Photos that look like a hotel or show up in other ads.
The safer route
Every Stayshay listing is reviewed before it goes live and shows rent, deposit and bills up front. When you message, it comes to the Stayshay team with the listing number, photo link and location, and we confirm with the owner before you go. Your number isn't posted anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Are Facebook bed space groups safe?
Some posts are genuine, but nothing is checked. Never pay before a viewing, and prefer sites that review listings.
