Officers have arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of fraud, who has since been released on bail.
PC Andrew Lacey, from Swindon Police said: “We have had reports that a man has been advertising a property available for rent that he does not own, and taking deposits from victims who believe they will be moving in.
“We would advise people looking to rent a property to be extra vigilant and make sure you carry out relevant checks prior to making payment.”
